HB 1830 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Itta Bena with staffing/personnel costs.

HB 1830 authorizes Mississippi to issue state-backed bonds to help the City of Itta Bena cover costs for hiring two full-time police officers, one full-time dispatcher, and one full-time deputy clerk. The bill creates a special fund to disburse the bond proceeds directly to the city for these specific staffing positions. The State Bond Commission would manage the bond issuance, sale, and repayment using the state's full credit, with the city required to use the funds only for these designated personnel costs. This is a direct financial assistance measure targeting the city's local public safety and administrative staffing needs.
