SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Capitol's legislative session is extended, as key leaders prepare to work past the expected end date due to a missed deadline that led to the failure of 100 appropriation bills. Speaker Jason White anticipates rule suspension to address these bills and finalizing the Fiscal Year 2025 state budget. Lawmakers recently passed a new K-12 funding formula and a PERS stopgap plan. Medicaid expansion discussions are ongoing, with the House and Senate presenting different plans. The full deadline for considering general bills is approaching. The next session reconvenes Monday, with a busy week anticipated ahead.

SUMMARY: Mississippi yacht rocker Jimmy Buffett, who passed away at 76 last September, will be posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024 for “musical excellence.” Buffett's move into beach bum soft rock was a success, with chart-topping songs like “Come Monday” and “Margaritaville.” Fans, known as Parrotheads, supported his 30 studio albums, books, a Broadway play, and a business empire. The induction ceremony will take place on October 19 in Cleveland, Ohio, alongside other inductees, including well-known artists and bands such as A Tribe Called Quest and Ozzy Osbourne.

SUMMARY: Mississippi is replacing the Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) with a new K-12 funding formula, which is set to increase funding by $218 million. The Mississippi Student Funding Formula will allocate more resources per student, especially benefiting those from low-income families, English learners, and those with special needs. Despite criticism over transportation costs not being accounted for, the bill passed with bipartisan support and is heading to Governor Tate Reeves' desk. Reeves, a supporter of the changes, is expected to sign the bill into law, moving towards a fairer recalculated funding mechanism every four years.
