Mississippi Comprehensive Coastal Conservation and Restoration Act of 2026; enact.

SB 2264 creates a Technical Advisory Board (TAB) to develop and annually update a comprehensive coastal conservation and restoration plan for Mississippi's Gulf Coast. The TAB, composed of state agency representatives, university officials, environmental groups, and legislators, will establish priorities and goals for projects involving storm protection, habitat restoration, and water quality improvement. State agencies like the Department of Marine Resources (DMR) and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) must follow this plan when selecting and funding future projects. The bill requires an annual report tracking progress toward the plan's goals and limits TAB administrative costs to 1% of related funds.
