What changed
Senate Bill 3071, an appropriation bill for Gulf Coast Restoration Funds to the Mississippi Development Authority, was partially vetoed by Governor Tate Reeves on April 13, 2026. The bill had passed both chambers unanimously (Senate 51-0, House 119-0) and was enrolled before receiving the partial veto. As a partial veto, certain provisions or funding amounts were removed from the final enactment while other portions remain in effect.
For the Mississippi Development Authority and affected state agencies, this partial veto means some authorized expenditures from Gulf Coast Restoration Funds for FY2027 projects may be limited or removed.
