HB 290 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Pearl with improvements to city hall.

HB 290 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to fund repairs, renovations, and upgrades to the City of Pearl's city hall complex and related facilities. The bill directs that bond proceeds must be used exclusively for these specific improvements, with the state pledging its full faith and credit to repay the bonds. This provides direct financial assistance to Pearl's city government for infrastructure upgrades, funded through state bond sales rather than local taxes. The legislation establishes a special fund for these bonds and specifies they cannot be used for any purpose beyond the named city hall project.
