Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Pearl with installation of traffic signal at intersection of MS Highway 468 and Murray Drive.
HB 156 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue bonds to provide funds for the City of Pearl to cover costs of building a traffic signal at the intersection of Mississippi Highway 468 and Murray Drive. The bill creates a process for the State Bond Commission to issue bonds, with proceeds transferred directly to the city for this specific infrastructure project. It does not create new traffic regulations or safety standards but provides financial assistance for the signal installation. The bill affects the City of Pearl (as the recipient of funds) and Mississippi taxpayers (as bondholders). The legislation is purely procedural, focusing on funding mechanics rather than policy changes.
