HB 829 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Olive Branch with Sylvan Lake Outflow Weir Project.

HB 829 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to fund the City of Olive Branch's Sylvan Lake Outflow Weir Project. The bill directs the State Bond Commission to issue bonds, with the full faith and credit of Mississippi pledged for repayment, and transfers the bond proceeds to a special fund exclusively for this project's costs. The funds will cover expenses related to constructing the weir, which manages water flow from Sylvan Lake. This is a funding mechanism, not a policy change, directly affecting the City of Olive Branch and Mississippi taxpayers as bondholders.
