Bonds; authorize issuance for improvements at Alcorn State University.
HB 917 authorizes Mississippi to issue state bonds specifically to fund repairs and renovations at Alcorn State University needed to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance standards for its buildings and facilities. The bill directs the State Bond Commission to handle bond issuance, with proceeds deposited into a dedicated fund for these upgrades. It directly affects Alcorn State University by providing funding for physical accessibility improvements, which would benefit students, faculty, and visitors using campus facilities. The legislation establishes the bond terms but does not specify exact renovation projects or timelines.
