Fire trucks and fire funds; bring forward code sections related to.
HB 1204 is a procedural bill that reorganizes existing Mississippi code sections related to fire truck funding, specifically moving sections 17-23-1, 17-23-11, and others to facilitate future amendments. It does not change current policy but preserves the Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program, which provides counties with grants for purchasing fire trucks meeting NFPA standards. Counties can receive up to $1,010,000 total, with per-truck funding tiers ranging from $50,000 to $90,000 based on their prior truck acquisitions. Unspent funds in the dedicated Rural Fire Truck Fund roll over annually without lapsing into the general fund.
