Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Indianola with purchasing a fire truck for its fire department.
HB 1780 authorizes Mississippi to issue state bonds to provide funds for the City of Indianola to purchase a fire truck for its fire department. The bill creates a special fund to receive bond proceeds, which must be used solely for the fire truck purchase and related costs. The state pledges its full faith and credit to repay the bonds, meaning state taxpayers would cover any shortfall if city funds are insufficient. This directly affects Indianola's fire department and state finances, with no additional policy changes beyond funding the equipment purchase.
