General Fund; FY2026 appropriation to Lee County for the purchase of a fire truck.

SB 2979 proposed appropriating $350,000 from the Mississippi State General Fund to Lee County for the Mooreville/Eggville Volunteer Fire Department to purchase a fire truck. The bill would have directly funded the department’s equipment costs for fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-June 2026). Key provisions included a specific state appropriation to cover the fire truck purchase, paid via state treasurer warrants. The bill was referred to the Appropriations Committee but died there on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
