Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Calhoun County with purchasing truck bed for Calhoun County Volunteer Fire Department.

HB 1964 authorizes Mississippi to issue state bonds to help Calhoun County purchase a new truck bed and related equipment for its volunteer fire department. The bill directly affects the Calhoun County Volunteer Fire Department by providing state funds to cover the cost of this specific equipment. The key mechanism is the issuance of general obligation bonds, with proceeds disbursed through a special fund to the county for this purpose. The state pledges its full faith and credit to repay the bonds, but the bill itself only provides the funding mechanism, not new policy.
