Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Jackson with park improvements.

HB 1697 would have authorized Mississippi to issue state bonds to fund park improvements at Jackson's Jayne Avenue Park, Livingston Park, and VA Legion Sports Complex. The state would have guaranteed repayment using its full credit, with bond proceeds disbursed directly to the City of Jackson for infrastructure upgrades. This bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
