SB 3105 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Appropriation; additional to certain state agencies and boards for FY2026 and FY2027.

SB 3105 is a funding bill that allocates additional state capital expense funds for specific agencies during fiscal years 2026 and 2027. It provides $0.00 for the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services, $0.00 for the Governor's Office-Division of Medicaid (under the Department of Finance and Administration), $0.00 for the Department of Public Safety, and $1.00 for the Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure. The funds are drawn from existing state capital expense reserves and are intended to cover operational costs for these agencies during the specified fiscal periods.
