Summary

Senate Bill 3220 is an act aimed at making an appropriation to Amite County, Mississippi, specifically intended for defraying costs associated with infrastructure improvements for the fiscal year 2027. The bill outlines that a total of $5,000,000 will be allocated from the State General Fund, intended to enhance local infrastructure projects.
