HB 1955 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Town of Big Creek with purchasing turnout clothing and defibrillator for Big Creek VFD.

HB 1955 authorizes Mississippi to issue state bonds to provide funds for the Town of Big Creek to purchase fire turnout clothing and a defibrillator for its volunteer fire department. The bill directly affects the Big Creek Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) by enabling the town to cover these specific equipment costs. The key mechanism is the state's issuance of general obligation bonds, backed by Mississippi's full faith and credit, with proceeds directed to a special fund for this purpose. This is a funding authorization, not a policy change, and does not create new requirements or regulations.
