Caption

AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO NOXUBEE COUNTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEFRAYING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COURTHOUSE RENOVATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2027.

Summary

Senate Bill 3372 is a fiscal appropriation measure that would provide $500,000 from the Mississippi State General Fund to Noxubee County for courthouse renovations in fiscal year 2027. The bill is narrowly focused on funding a local capital project and does not create a new program, regulatory scheme, or tax change. The appropriation would be available beginning July 1, 2026, and would be paid through the normal state warrant and requisition process administered by the State Treasurer and State Fiscal Officer. In practical terms, the bill directs state money to a county-level courthouse renovation project and authorizes the expenditure under existing state budget procedures.

Impact

SB3372 would amend state spending for FY2027 by allocating $500,000 from the General Fund to Noxubee County for courthouse renovation costs. It affects state appropriations law and the flow of state funds, but it does not alter substantive law beyond authorizing this specific expenditure and the associated payment mechanism.

Sentiment

Because there are no committee transcripts or recorded votes provided, there is no documented debate or formal sentiment in the available materials. Based on the bill text and caption, the measure appears routine and locally targeted, with an administrative rather than controversial purpose.

Contention

No specific points of contention are documented in the available record. The only potentially relevant issue is the use of state General Fund dollars for a county facility project, which could raise questions about local versus state funding priorities, but no opposition or support is recorded in the provided context.
