HB 1127
Mississippi requires state agencies to report detailed usage of federal ARPA recovery funds, establishing transparency and accountability mechanisms for billions in pandemic relief spending.
HB 1127 requires Mississippi state agencies receiving American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to submit detailed reports on how those federal funds are being used, allocated, and spent. The bill establishes reporting requirements and oversight mechanisms to track the distribution and utilization of the approximately $2.7 billion in ARPA funds distributed to the state during the pandemic recovery period.
ARPA represents one of the largest federal stimulus packages in recent history, and tracking its deployment is critical for accountability and public transparency. This legislation ensures citizens and lawmakers can verify that substantial federal recovery funds are being used as intended rather than sitting idle or misallocated, while also creating a documented record for future audits and evaluations of the program's effectiveness.
