HB 1196 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Local governments and rural water systems improvements revolving loan and grant program; authorize Pearl River Valley Water Supply District to participate.

HB 1196 authorizes the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District to join Mississippi’s existing Local Governments and Rural Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan and Grant Program. This program, administered by the State Department of Health, provides loans and grants to eligible entities - including counties, municipalities, and water districts - for water system upgrades like construction, repairs, or expansion. The bill specifically adds the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District to the list of eligible participants under Section 41-3-16 of the Mississippi Code. It does not create new funding but expands access to an existing program designed to improve rural water infrastructure.
