ST: 2024 Local Improvements Project Fund; revise purpose of certain project and increase maximum amount of funds for the project.

HB 1536 would have allocated $450,000 from the Capital Expense Fund to the 2024 Local Improvements Projects Fund, directing specific distributions to 30+ local projects across 15 Mississippi counties and cities. The bill specified funding for infrastructure (e.g., road paving, courthouse repairs), public safety (sheriff’s cars, fire department equipment), and community facilities (amphitheaters, river docks, historic districts). It affected municipalities like Columbus, West Point, and Senatobia, as well as county entities and volunteer fire departments. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
