JACKSON – Governor Tate Reeves on Friday said he would call a special session this week and released the following statement on calling on lawmakers to adopt the Fiscal Year 2026 budget.
“Now that we’ve reached an agreement on the budget, today I informed Lieutenant Governor Hosemann and Speaker White that I intend to call a special session for the middle of next week.
“The proposed budget does not materially increase state spending, is fiscally conservative, and will help us to continue Mississippi’s historic economic momentum.
“I’m proud of the work we’ve done to reach this agreement. I’d like to thank Mississippi’s legislative appropriators for working diligently throughout the budget negotiation process. I’m excited to get the special session completed and look forward to quickly passing the budget.
