Summary — SB 2910

Title: General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Yazoo County for road repair and resurfacing
Sponsor: Senator McKelvey (primary)
Classification: Appropriations / Local infrastructure
Status: Died in Committee

Purpose and intent

SB 2910 would authorize a General Fund appropriation in FY2026 to Yazoo County specifically for road repair and resurfacing. The bill’s stated intent is to provide state funding to support local roadway maintenance and improvement in Yazoo County, improving pavement condition, safety, and local transportation infrastructure.

Key provisions

  • Authorizes a General Fund appropriation for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 to Yazoo County for the purpose of repairing and resurfacing county roads.
  • Does not specify project-level details, procurement language, or (in the provided text) a dollar amount.
  • Implementation details (project selection, matching funds, timelines, reporting, or oversight) are not included in the available bill text.

Note: The available legislative summary and actions do not include a specific appropriation amount or statutory text beyond the general purpose. For precise funding levels and conditions, the companion House bill (HB 2161) or the bill’s full text (if available) should be consulted.

Who would be affected

  • Primary beneficiary: Yazoo County government — would receive state funds for local road repair/resurfacing projects.
  • Secondary beneficiaries: Yazoo County residents, motorists, emergency services, and local businesses via improved road safety and reduced vehicle wear.
  • Contractors and construction firms engaged in roadwork in the county (subject to local procurement rules).
  • State General Fund — an appropriation would reduce available resources for other uses in FY2026 to the extent funds are allocated.

Procedural history and timeline

  • Introduced and filed (dates in the record show activity in both 2024 and 2025; see note below).
  • Committee activity includes referral to committees (PSM, WAM, Local Government, Appropriations), a public hearing (PSM, 01-31-24), and a PSM recommendation to pass with amendments (vote 4–1).
  • A report adopting amendments (SD 1) and referral to Ways & Means (WAM) appears in the record.
  • Final disposition: Died in Committee (recorded 2025-02-26), so the measure did not reach final passage or enactment.

Note on record irregularities: The legislative action timeline includes entries dated in both 2024 and 2025 with overlapping referrals and readings. That suggests either multiple session entries or data inconsistencies. The essential outcome is clear: the bill did not advance to enactment.

Fiscal impact and considerations

  • Fiscal effect cannot be determined from available information because the appropriation amount is not specified.
  • If enacted, the appropriation would obligate General Fund resources in FY2026; details on any required county match, reporting, or project restrictions are not provided.

Related legislation

  • HB 2161 — listed as a companion bill; consult that bill for potentially matching or differing appropriation details.
