Bonds; authorize issuance to assist the Town of Derma with purchasing a new truck bed for town fire department truck.

HB 1965 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to provide funds for the Town of Derma to purchase a new truck bed and related equipment for its fire department truck. The bonds would be sold by the State Bond Commission, with proceeds disbursed directly to Derma for this specific equipment purchase. This bill creates a funding mechanism where state taxpayers would ultimately cover the cost through bond repayment, not local taxes. The bill does not alter fire department operations or create new local tax obligations.
