Bonds; authorize issuance for Sharkey County and Town of Rolling Fork to assist in paying various disaster recovery costs.
SB 2144 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to cover disaster recovery costs for Sharkey County and the Town of Rolling Fork. The bill provides state funds to help these local entities pay for rebuilding infrastructure and other projects following disasters. The bonds would be backed by the full credit of the Mississippi state government, with proceeds disbursed directly to the counties for approved recovery efforts. This is a funding mechanism, not a new policy, and would require legislative approval for bond issuance.
