Appropriation; Scenic Rivers Development Alliance for certain projects in the member counties.

HB 506 appropriates $10 million from the State General Fund to the Scenic Rivers Development Alliance for specific infrastructure projects in Franklin, Walthall, Pike, Amite, and Wilkinson counties during fiscal year 2027. The funds will cover construction and improvements at Okhissa Lake Lodge in Franklin County, plus facility upgrades, road repairs, river access, erosion control, and trail enhancements across the five counties. This is a one-time funding allocation for defined physical projects, not a broad policy change. The bill directs the State Treasurer to disburse funds upon proper requisitions, effective July 1, 2026.
