Counties and municipalities; authorize to enter into intergovernmental support agreements with military branches.

HB 1393 allows Mississippi counties and incorporated cities, towns, or villages to formally partner with U.S. military branches under federal law (10 USC Section 2679). The bill authorizes local governments to enter agreements providing support services to military installations located within Mississippi. This would enable communities to coordinate directly with bases on matters like infrastructure, housing, or community engagement. The bill passed the House in early 2025 but died in the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee in March 2025.
