Appropriation; City of McComb for constructing new fire station and purchasing a new fire truck.

HB 79 proposed a $5 million state appropriation to the City of McComb for a new fire station and fire truck. The bill would have allocated $2 million for construction, $500,000 for station equipment, $2 million for a fire truck, and $500,000 for truck equipment, all for fiscal year 2026. This funding was intended to directly assist McComb's fire department with capital improvements. The bill was referred to the Appropriations committee but died there on February 26, 2025, and did not become law.
