Bill > HB1898

This bill appropriates $550,000 from the State General Fund to the City of Nettleton, Mississippi, to help purchase a new pumper fire truck during fiscal year 2026 (which runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026). The State Treasurer will release the funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, which will be processed upon proper requisition and in accordance with standard legal procedures. The bill specifies that the money will come from unallocated funds in the State General Fund, ensuring that this appropriation does not disrupt other existing budget allocations. The appropriation will take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing the city to proceed with its fire truck purchase during the upcoming fiscal year. This type of legislative appropriation is a common method for state governments to provide financial assistance to local municipalities for critical infrastructure and emergency service equipment.
