What This Bill Proposed
Senate Bill 3025 proposed authorizing up to $300,000 in state to help fund the construction of a museum and visitor center in the Town of Anguilla, Mississippi. The measure died in committee on February 25, 2026. The bill established a special treasury fund to hold bond proceeds and required any unexpended money or investment earnings to be applied toward debt service.
The measure would have created a dedicated state funding stream for local capital improvements in Anguilla, backed by the full faith and credit of the state. Because the bill died in committee, no bonds were issued and no state funds were appropriated for the project.
