Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program; revise to remove eight rounds requirement.
HB 1215 removes a limit preventing counties that have already received funding for eight fire trucks under Mississippi's Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program from applying for additional funding. Previously, counties with eight prior truck acquisitions could only apply for seven more trucks, but this bill eliminates that restriction entirely. The change allows any county with remaining eligibility under the program - regardless of prior funding rounds - to continue applying for new fire trucks. The program still provides matching funds for new or used fire trucks meeting NFPA standards, with specific per-truck funding caps based on the number of trucks already acquired.
