Bill Summary

An Act To Authorize The Board Of Supervisors Of Kemper County, Mississippi, To Make Contributions To Philadelphia Transit; And For Related Purposes.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Kemper County Board of Supervisors to provide an annual financial contribution of up to $5,000 from the county's general fund to Philadelphia Transit, a nonprofit transportation service that offers public transportation for residents of Kemper County and surrounding areas, with a particular focus on serving elderly and disabled citizens. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals this authorization on July 1, 2029, meaning the county's ability to make these contributions will expire on that date unless renewed by future legislative action. The legislation is specifically designed to support local public transit services by providing a modest but potentially meaningful financial contribution that can help sustain transportation options for community members who might otherwise have limited mobility.
