Small Municipalities Federal Match Fund; appropriation to DFA.

SB 2579 appropriates $5 million from Mississippi's Small Municipalities Federal Match Fund to the Department of Finance and Administration for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. It enables small municipalities receiving discretionary federal funds to access matching state funds by requiring them to contribute 20% of project costs locally while federal funds cover 80%. The bill directs the Department of Finance and Administration to disburse these matching funds to qualifying small municipalities, aiming to help them leverage additional federal resources for local projects. The funds are specifically intended for municipalities that qualify under the state's matching program.
