Appropriation; DHS to provide funding for the Mississippi Senior Games.

HB 1884 appropriates $100,000 from the State General Fund to the Mississippi Department of Human Services (DHS) to fund the 2026 Mississippi Senior Games held on the Gulf Coast during fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The bill directly supports the Senior Games program, which provides competitive athletic events for Mississippi residents aged 50 and older. It is a straightforward funding allocation with no new policy requirements, solely ensuring financial resources for the event’s organization and operations. The funds will be disbursed through standard state fiscal procedures as outlined in the bill.
