SB3062 administers $217,250,000 coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Funds to the Department of Finance and Administration Bureau of Building, Grounds, and Real Property Management.
The Mississippi State House of Representatives passed SB3062 on March 15, 2022 by a vote of 118 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the spending of taxpayer money for purposes not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution tightens the federal-state lockstep on redistribution of income. Additionally, distribution of federal taxpayer dollars comes with contingencies and requirements, forcing states into situations that violate the U.S. Constitution.
