HB 285 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Pearl with installation of traffic signal at intersection of MS Highway 468 and Murray Drive.

HB 285 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to fund a traffic signal installation at the intersection of Mississippi Highway 468 and Murray Drive in the City of Pearl. The bill creates a special fund to receive bond proceeds, which the city would use directly to cover construction and installation costs for the traffic signal. State bonds would be issued under standard procedures, backed by the full faith and credit of Mississippi, with repayment funded through state treasury reserves if needed. This is a funding mechanism for a specific local infrastructure project, not a policy change affecting broader traffic regulations.
