Appropriation; IHL for repairs and improvements of campus facilities at the three HBCUs in MS.

HB 66 appropriates $300 million from Mississippi's general fund to repair and improve campus facilities at three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs): Alcorn State University, Jackson State University, and Mississippi Valley State University. The funding, allocated equally at $100 million per institution, covers specific projects including historic building restoration, infrastructure upgrades (electrical/plumbing/HVAC), student housing improvements, academic space development, safety enhancements, and sustainability initiatives. Each university must submit a detailed plan for approved repairs and provide annual progress reports to the legislature. The funds are available from the bill's passage through June 30, 2027, with all projects required to be completed within this timeframe.
