Appropriation; Town of Bude for purchasing public safety equipment for the town police department.

HB 1842 would have provided $200,000 in state funds to the Town of Bude, Mississippi, to purchase police department equipment like vehicles and cameras for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, aiming to improve public safety. The bill directed the State Treasurer to pay this amount from the general fund upon proper requisitions. It was intended to directly support Bude's local law enforcement capabilities through tangible equipment upgrades. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
