HB 837 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Hinds County with paving certain rural roads.

HB 837 authorizes Mississippi to issue state bonds to fund paving for specific rural roads in Bolton, Edwards, and Brownsville within Hinds County. The bill directs bond proceeds to cover paving costs, aiming to improve residents' access to economic opportunities, commerce, healthcare, education, and government services. Key provisions include using state general obligation bonds (backed by Mississippi's full credit), restricting funds strictly to these road projects, and requiring the State Bond Commission to manage the bond issuance and disbursement. The bill does not create new taxes or alter existing funding mechanisms but provides a dedicated funding source for targeted infrastructure.
