Lee County; authorize to enter 30-year lease and finance 30-year certificates of participation for public safety facility.
HB 1986 authorizes Lee County, Mississippi's Board of Supervisors to enter 30-year lease agreements for public safety facilities, including infrastructure and access road improvements. The bill directly affects Lee County and state agencies that would lease or use the facilities, such as public safety operations. Key provisions allow the county to finance these facilities through 30-year certificates of participation and specify that all lease terms must comply with existing Mississippi law. The bill does not create new policy but enables a specific financial mechanism for acquiring and maintaining public safety infrastructure.
