Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Hinds County with removal and demolition of dilapidated/blighted properties in House District 68.
HB 1053 would have authorized Mississippi to issue state bonds to fund the acquisition, removal, and demolition of dilapidated properties in House District 68 (primarily in Jackson, Hinds County). The bill's key mechanism directs bond proceeds into a special fund specifically for these demolition costs, with the State Bond Commission managing the bond issuance and sale. This would have directly affected property owners and residents in House District 68 by targeting blighted properties for removal. The bill died in committee on February 26, 2025, and was never enacted.
