Bonds; authorize issuance to assist Calhoun County with purchasing a new ladder truck for Calhoun County Volunteer Fire Department.

HB 1956 authorizes Mississippi to issue state general obligation bonds to help Calhoun County pay for a new ladder truck for its volunteer fire department. The bill creates a special fund to receive bond proceeds, which will be transferred to Calhoun County specifically for purchasing the ladder truck. This provides a direct funding mechanism for the fire department's equipment needs without requiring new county taxes. The bonds would be repaid through state funds if needed, using the state's full credit.
