Appropriation; Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks for search and rescue program.

HB 1303 allocates $100,000 from the State General Fund to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP) for the Mississippi Search and Rescue Program. The funding covers costs related to equipment acquisition, maintenance, and training for the program during the 2026-2027 fiscal year. This is a routine appropriation bill that provides financial support for an existing state program, not a new policy or law. The funds will be disbursed by the State Treasurer upon proper requisitions.
