Purpose and Provisions

  • Intent: To provide state General Fund dollars in FY2026 to Bolivar County specifically for the rehabilitation of Old Highway 61.
  • Provisions (as indicated by the title): The bill would authorize and allocate an appropriation from the General Fund to Bolivar County for the named project.
  • Amount and oversight details: The available information does not specify the dollar amount or any accompanying provisions (e.g., reporting requirements, matching funds, or project milestones). The exact allocation and conditions would be defined in the enacted text, if any.

Fiscal Implications

  • Machine-level effect: If enacted, the bill would increase General Fund expenditures in FY2026 by the amount of the appropriation.
  • Revenue impact: The bill does not alter revenue sources; it creates a spending obligation within the state budget.
  • Economic impact (in theory): Allocation for infrastructure projects can impact local employment, contractor activity, and traffic safety/reliability in Bolivar County, once the project proceeds.

Affected Parties

  • Bolivar County government and its residents, businesses, and commuters who use Old Highway 61.
  • Contractors and suppliers involved in the rehabilitation project.
  • State budget administrators and the Appropriations Committee responsible for allocating General Fund resources.

Procedural History and Status

  • Introduced: February 19, 2025.
  • Legislative action: Referred to the Appropriations Committee on February 19, 2025.
  • Status: Died In Committee on February 26, 2025, meaning the bill did not advance to the full chamber for debate or a vote in that session.
  • Current standing: No enacted changes; the bill did not become law in its current form this session. It could be reintroduced in a future session.

Next Steps and Context

  • If revived, the bill would need to pass through the Appropriations Committee and then the full legislative body (House and/or Senate, depending on system) and be signed into law.
