HB 769 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

State highway system; revise parameters of the Coahoma County Highway by removing a segment of U.S. Hwy 61 to Friars Point, MS.

HB 769 would have removed a specific segment of U.S. Highway 61 (from its intersection with U.S. Highways 49/61 to Friars Point's eastern city limits) from Mississippi's state highway system. This procedural bill aimed to revise the legal designation of the Coahoma County Highway by deleting that segment from the state-maintained system. If passed, the affected road segment would no longer be under the Mississippi Transportation Commission's jurisdiction for maintenance. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
