Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Calhoun County with repairing County Road 102.
HB 1979 authorizes Mississippi to issue state bonds (a form of state debt) to cover costs for repairing and resurfacing Calhoun County's County Road 102. The bill directs the State Bond Commission to sell these bonds, with proceeds deposited into a special fund specifically for this road project. Calhoun County directly benefits as the funds will pay for the physical repairs, not general county operations. The bill establishes the legal process for issuing and managing the bonds but does not change road standards or construction requirements.
