HB 442 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to provide funds for public school improvements.

HB 442 authorizes Mississippi to issue general obligation bonds to provide funding for capital improvements at public schools across the state. The bill directs the State Bond Commission to sell these bonds, with proceeds deposited into a special fund for school districts to use on projects like building repairs, renovations, or new facilities. The state guarantees repayment using its full faith and credit, meaning if school funds aren't sufficient, the state treasury will cover bond payments. This bill directly affects all public school districts in Mississippi by creating a new funding source for physical infrastructure needs.
