Bill Summary · HB 1904

Legislative bill overview

HB 1904 is an appropriations bill that allocates funding to Mississippi's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. The bill has passed the House with amendments and is now in the Senate appropriations process. The specific dollar amounts and programmatic details allocated through this bill are not provided in the action history.

Why is this important

Appropriations bills directly determine operational budgets for state agencies, affecting public services like wildlife management, fisheries regulation, park maintenance, and outdoor recreation access. These funding levels influence everything from conservation efforts to hunter/angler licensing administration to park facility conditions that Mississippi residents depend on.

Potential points of contention

  • Budget level adequacy – Whether the appropriated amount sufficiently funds agency operations, conservation initiatives, and infrastructure maintenance versus potential underfunding concerns
  • Priority allocation – How funds are distributed between competing department functions (wildlife management vs. fisheries vs. parks operations) and whether stakeholders agree on these priorities
  • Conservation vs. recreation balance – Whether funding emphasizes environmental protection and species management versus public access and recreational amenities
