Bonds; authorize issuance of to assist Town of Marion with road improvements.
HB 1778 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to fund road improvements at the intersection of Dale Drive and NE Industrial Park Drive in the Town of Marion. The bonds, backed by the state's full credit, would provide direct financial assistance to Marion for construction, reconstruction, or upgrades at that specific location. Proceeds from the bond sale must be used exclusively for these road projects, with the State Bond Commission handling issuance and sale. This is a procedural funding mechanism, not a substantive policy change, and the bill died in committee without becoming law.
