Bill Summary · SB 2511

Summary — SB 2511 (Introduced) — “Mississippi Immigration Enforcement Act of 2025; enact.”

Status: Died in committee

Note up front: the available bill materials contain internal inconsistencies. The bill title and some metadata refer to a “Mississippi Immigration Enforcement Act of 2025,” but the text and sponsor identify an Illinois Senate bill (104th General Assembly, introduced by Sen. Don Harmon) that contains a one-line appropriation. This summary describes the substance of the bill text as provided and highlights the discrepancy.

Main purpose / intent

As written, the bill makes a very small appropriation from the state General Revenue Fund to the Department of Transportation for fiscal year 2026. The apparent intent of the legislative text is to provide funding for the Department of Transportation’s “ordinary and contingent expenses” for FY26.

Key provisions

  • Appropriates $2 (two dollars), or so much of that amount as may be necessary, from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Transportation for its FY26 ordinary and contingent expenses.
  • Effective date: July 1, 2025.

(The bill text is a single, very short appropriation clause; there are no other programmatic, regulatory, or enforcement provisions included in the provided text.)

Who/what would be affected

  • Department of Transportation: nominally the recipient of the appropriation for FY26.
  • General Revenue Fund: source of the $2 appropriation.
  • No programmatic changes or regulatory impacts are specified; the dollar amount is immaterial to the Department’s operations in practice.

Fiscal and practical impact

  • Fiscal impact: effectively zero. A $2 appropriation is functionally symbolic and would not affect departmental operations or the overall state budget in any meaningful way.
  • Administrative impact: none beyond routine accounting entries if enacted.

Procedural / timeline information

  • Introduced: (texts show) February 7, 2025 or March 13, 2025 (source dates vary).
  • Effective date specified: July 1, 2025.
  • Legislative actions in record include readings and committee referrals; final status shown as “Died In Committee” (date listed: 2025-02-04).
  • Companion bill: HB 4375.

Observations / recommended follow-up

  • The bill title (Mississippi immigration enforcement) conflicts with the substantive text (Illinois $2 appropriation). Verify the correct bill number and text with the legislative clerk or official bill repository to resolve whether the correct measure was supplied or if documents were mispaired.
