HB 4110 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Oktibbeha County; authorize the establishment of the Oktibbeha County Reserve and Trust Fund for deposit of net proceeds from sale of certain medical center.

HB 4110 creates the Oktibbeha County Reserve and Trust Fund to permanently hold net proceeds from the sale of Oktibbeha County's OCH Regional Medical Center. The fund's principal (initial deposit) must be preserved in perpetuity with annual inflation adjustments, while up to 85% of annual earnings can be distributed for county purposes like operations, maintenance, or capital improvements. The Board of Supervisors manages the fund, must hire a qualified financial fiduciary for investments, and faces strict limits on withdrawing the principal. This directly affects Oktibbeha County residents through its long-term financial planning for public services.

What changed between versions

As Passed the lower Current version · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to direct the county board to deposit at least 80% of the medical center sale proceeds into the new trust fund, rather than leaving the amount to their discretion. The text was also cleaned up to fix formatting errors and remove a provision that would have allowed the fund to dissolve if its balance ever reached zero.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from authorizing the county to optionally create a fund to directing them to establish a fund with a mandatory minimum deposit of 80% of the sale proceeds.
FISCAL

Changed the requirement from depositing 'all or any portion' of the sale proceeds to a mandatory minimum of 80% of the net proceeds.

REQUIREMENT

Deleted the clause stating that if the fund balance reaches zero, the fund must dissolve and the act be repealed.

TECHNICAL

Corrected formatting errors, removed a duplicate section on the Investment Policy Statement, and updated references to include 'of this act' for clarity.
