Appropriation; City of Pass Christian for constructing a new fire station.

HB 1177 allocates $2.5 million from the Mississippi State General Fund to the City of Pass Christian to help cover construction costs for a new fire station during fiscal year 2026-2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027). The funds would be paid directly to the city’s governing authorities upon state requisition, with no additional requirements or policy changes. This is a straightforward funding measure for a specific municipal infrastructure project, not a new law or policy. The bill is currently in the Appropriations committee (referred January 19, 2026).
