AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO COPIAH COUNTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEFRAYING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ROAD REPAIRS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2027.

Summary

Senate Bill 3300 is a straightforward appropriations measure that would provide $750,000 from the Mississippi State General Fund to Copiah County for fiscal year 2027. The money is designated specifically to help defray costs associated with road repairs. The bill is effective beginning July 1, 2026, and directs that the funds be paid through the normal state warrant and requisition process. The bill does not create a new program or regulatory framework; instead, it makes a one-time county-specific appropriation for infrastructure maintenance. Its practical effect is to increase state financial support for local road repair work in Copiah County during FY2027, while leaving the county responsible for carrying out the repairs and using the funds in accordance with state payment procedures.

Impact

SB 3300 would amend state spending for FY2027 by appropriating $750,000 from the General Fund to Copiah County. It affects state budget law only for the specified fiscal year and does not appear to alter any substantive statutes beyond authorizing the transfer and disbursement of funds. The primary parties affected are Copiah County government, the State Treasurer, and the State Fiscal Officer, who would administer the appropriation under existing payment procedures.

Sentiment

Based on the bill text and the absence of recorded committee debate or votes, the measure appears to be noncontroversial and routine in nature. It is a targeted local appropriation for road repairs, a type of bill that is often viewed as practical infrastructure support rather than a policy dispute. No opposition, amendments, or divided votes are reflected in the available context.

Contention

There are no documented points of contention in the provided materials. Because the bill is a single-county appropriation from the General Fund, any potential concerns would likely center on budget priorities, local versus statewide funding allocations, or whether the amount is sufficient for the intended road repairs. However, no specific objections or supporters are identified in the transcript or voting history.
