What changed in the latest version

In the updated version of Bill SB 2302, a new provision has been added that gives the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) the right of first refusal if the City of Gulfport decides to sell a specific parcel of land. This means that before Gulfport can sell the property to anyone else, they must offer it to MDOT first. This change is significant because it ensures that the state has the opportunity to acquire land that may be important for transportation needs, potentially preventing future conflicts over land use.
