Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Pike County with a bridge project.

HB 1704 would have authorized the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to help Pike County cover costs for the U.S. Highway 51 Bridge Project in the Pike County Industrial Park. The bill specified that bond proceeds would be transferred to a special fund and used solely for this bridge project, with the state pledging full credit for repayment. This legislation directly affected Pike County, Mississippi, as the recipient of funds for a specific infrastructure project. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
