Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Cleveland with purchasing motor vehicles for the city's police department.
HB 779 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to provide funds for the City of Cleveland to purchase four motor vehicles for its police department. The bonds, backed by the state's full faith and credit, would be sold to raise money, with proceeds transferred directly to Cleveland for this specific vehicle purchase. The city must use the funds solely for the police department vehicles, and the state would repay the bonds from general treasury funds if needed. This bill creates a targeted funding mechanism without altering existing police operations or laws.
