HB 836 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Hinds County with installing emergency sirens.

HB 836 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to fund Hinds County's acquisition and installation of ten emergency sirens in densely populated areas. The bill directly affects Hinds County residents by providing funding for improved emergency alert infrastructure. Key provisions include using state-backed bonds (backed by Mississippi's full faith and credit) to cover costs, with proceeds disbursed solely for this purpose. The state treasurer would manage payments, and the bonds would be exempt from state taxation.
