Capital Expense Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Town of Gunnison for water and sewer improvement project.
Summary
SB 2930 is a Mississippi appropriations bill that provides $250,000 from the Capital Expense Fund to the Town of Gunnison for fiscal year 2026. The money is designated to help defray expenses for improvements to the town’s water and sewer system. The bill specifies that the appropriation is available for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026, and it becomes effective on July 1, 2025.
The bill does not create a new regulatory program or amend substantive law; instead, it authorizes a one-time state expenditure for a local infrastructure project. The funds are to be disbursed by the State Treasurer upon warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, following the usual requisition process required by law. In practical terms, the measure directs state capital funds toward municipal utility improvements in Gunnison.
Impact
SB 2930 would appropriate $250,000 from the state’s Capital Expense Fund to support water and sewer system improvements in the Town of Gunnison for FY 2026. Its legal effect is limited to authorizing this specific expenditure and setting the payment mechanism and effective date; it does not alter existing water, sewer, or municipal governance statutes. The primary affected party is the Town of Gunnison, with the state treasury and fiscal administration offices responsible for processing the appropriation.
Sentiment
Because there are no committee transcripts or recorded votes provided, the available context suggests a straightforward, routine local appropriations measure rather than a controversial policy bill.

Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided bill history, and there are no committee remarks or vote records to indicate disagreement.
