Ross Barnett Reservoir Dredging Fund; authorize expenditures for shoreline maintenance and erosion prevention activites.

Summary

The bill changes the name of the existing dredging fund to the Ross Barnett Reservoir Dredging and Maintenance Fund and expands its purpose to include shoreline maintenance and erosion‑prevention work. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District board can deposit up to $200,000 each year from its lease and fee revenues into the fund, and any unused money stays in the fund with earned interest. This aims to keep the reservoir’s shoreline stable and protect surrounding land.
