Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Port Gibson with construction of police station and purchasing motor vehicles.
HB 1649 authorizes the State of Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to provide funds for the City of Port Gibson to construct a new police station and purchase two police vehicles plus one public works utility vehicle. The bill directly affects the Port Gibson Police Department by funding specific infrastructure and equipment needs. Key provisions include the state pledging its full credit for bond repayment and requiring all proceeds to be used solely for the stated police department projects. The bonds would be sold through the State Bond Commission, with funds transferred to a dedicated city account. This is a funding mechanism, not a direct appropriation, and would require legislative approval for bond issuance.
