Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Washington County with certain road projects.
HB 139 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to fund specific road improvements in Washington County. The funds will cover paving, repaving, repairs, upgrades, and other work on Sarullo Circle and Mourning Dove Street. The bonds are backed by the state's full faith and credit, meaning Mississippi would use general funds to repay them if needed. Proceeds must be used exclusively for these designated street projects and cannot be diverted to other purposes.
