Summary of SB 3203

Overview

  • Bill Number: SB 3203
  • Title: General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Chickasaw County for improvements to County Road 405
  • Status: Died In Committee
  • Introduction Date: February 26, 2025
  • Classification/Subject: Appropriations (General Fund)

Purpose and Intent

The bill proposes an appropriation from the General Fund for fiscal year 2026 to Chickasaw County specifically for improvements to County Road 405. The available information does not include the exact appropriation amount or a detailed description of eligible improvements.

Key Provisions (as described)

  • The bill would authorize an FY2026 General Fund allocation to Chickasaw County for improvements to County Road 405.
  • The precise funding amount and permissible uses of the funds would be specified in the bill’s text (not provided in the summary).
  • The bill would target state General Fund resources to a local infrastructure project within Chickasaw County.

Fiscal Impact

  • Funding Source: General Fund (state level).
  • Fiscal Year: FY2026.
  • Amount: Not specified in the provided information.
  • Potential Effects: If enacted, the appropriation would represent a state expenditure directed toward local road improvements, with potential downstream effects on county infrastructure quality, safety, and local economies. The lack of a specified amount means the scale of impact cannot be assessed from the summary alone.

Affected Parties

  • Primary: Chickasaw County government, for the purpose of improving County Road 405.
  • Secondary: Residents, commuters, and local businesses that rely on County Road 405 for transportation and economic activity.

Procedural History and Timeline

  • 2025-02-26: Referred to Appropriations.
  • 2025-02-26: Died in Committee.
  • Current Status: No further action in this session; bill is not enacted.

Potential Implications if Reintroduced

  • If reintroduced in a future session, the bill could compete with other General Fund needs for FY2026 funding.
  • Passage would depend on the amount proposed, supporting fiscal notes, and committee considerations, including any match requirements, reporting, or oversight provisions.
  • Local infrastructure advocates would likely seek a clear description of eligible uses, milestones, and performance measures for the road improvements.

Bottom Line

SB 3203 would have provided a FY2026 General Fund appropriation to Chickasaw County for improvements to County Road 405. The measure died in the Appropriations Committee on the day it was introduced, so there is no enacted effect to date. If reintroduced, it would need to specify the funding amount and any related terms to become law.
