Subcommittee okays IHL request to shift funding to MVSU residence-hall repairs
Summary
The subcommittee approved SB 2917 to revise a prior planning allocation for Mississippi Valley State University, replacing a previously planned new residence hall with an $8.856 million request to repair and renovate existing residence halls; committee approved the change by voice vote.
Senator Wiggins presented SB 2917, a request from the Institutions of Higher Learning to change a prior planning allocation for Mississippi Valley State University. The previous allocation—about $3.427 million for planning new construction—would be revised to support repair and renovation of existing residence halls, with an updated amount around $8.856 million.
No senators raised objections during the brief presentation. The subcommittee voted 'title sufficient do pass' and reported the technical change to reflect the shifted purpose and funding amount.
