Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Calhoun County with repair of County Road 235.
HB 1961 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to provide funds for Calhoun County's repair of County Road 235. The bill creates a special fund to receive bond proceeds, which the county would use directly for the road repair project. The state would be responsible for repaying the bonds using state funds if needed, with the full faith and credit of Mississippi pledged as security. This is a funding mechanism, not a policy change, and it specifically targets repairs on County Road 235 in Calhoun County.
