HB 746 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program; revise to remove eight rounds requirement.

HB 746 removes a limit preventing counties from receiving additional fire truck funding after obtaining assistance for eight rounds (sets of trucks) under Mississippi's Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program. This change directly affects counties that had previously received funding for eight rounds and wished to apply for more assistance. The bill modifies Section 17-23-1 of the Mississippi Code to eliminate the "eight rounds requirement," allowing counties to continue applying for matching funds regardless of prior participation. The program itself continues to fund fire truck purchases meeting NFPA standards, with county-specific funding caps based on previous acquisitions.
