Bonds; authorize for Jefferson County Sheriff's Department motor vehicles and repairs to county jail.
HB 1847 authorizes Mississippi to issue state bonds to fund Jefferson County’s purchase of sheriff’s department vehicles and repairs/upgrades to the county jail. The bill creates a special fund to disburse bond proceeds specifically for these two purposes: law enforcement vehicles and jail facility improvements. The bonds are general obligations of the State of Mississippi, backed by its full credit, with repayment secured through state treasury funds if needed. This is a funding mechanism, not a direct appropriation, and applies exclusively to Jefferson County’s sheriff’s department and jail.
