Summary

Senate Bill 3356 is focused on making an appropriation of $500,000 from the State General Fund to the City of Picayune, Mississippi. This funding is designated for the purpose of defraying costs associated with improvements to Friendship Park for the fiscal year 2027, which will begin on July 1, 2026.
