Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Scenic Rivers Development Alliance with various projects.

HB 1642 authorized Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to provide funds for the Scenic Rivers Development Alliance to cover costs of infrastructure projects (including development, repairs, upgrades, and improvements) in Franklin, Walthall, Pike, Amite, and Wilkinson counties. The bill established procedures for bond issuance, repayment using state funds, and specified that proceeds must be used solely for these designated projects. The bill died in the Ways and Means Committee on February 26, 2025, and was never enacted. This procedural bill directly affected the Scenic Rivers Development Alliance and Mississippi taxpayers, but did not create new policy.
