Bolivar County; authorize to create a water and/or sewer district in community of Choctaw which is located in.
HB 1957 would have created a new local utility district in the community of Choctaw, Bolivar County, to take over and maintain the existing sewer system previously managed by the Choctaw Sewer Association. The bill authorized Bolivar County to transfer sewer assets, funds, and property to the district and establish a board of commissioners (appointed by the county) to operate the system independently. This would directly affect Choctaw residents who use the sewer service, as the new district would handle maintenance, billing, and enforcement of payments. The bill died in committee on April 3, 2025, and never became law.
