Mississippi HB642 requires school districts to report on federal funds and obtain legislative approval for their expenditure.

Mississippi HB642 mandates that public school districts annually report to the state legislature and governor on federal funds received or expected. It requires legislative approval for the expenditure of federal funds, except in cases where federal law preempts state law or the funds supplement, not supplant, state and local funding. Non-compliant districts face penalties, including withholding of state education funds and additional sanctions. The State Auditor is authorized to investigate and audit compliance with the act.
