AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF LEAKE COUNTY TO ASSIST IN PAYING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PURCHASING A NEW FIRE TRUCK FOR THE MARYDELL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2027.

Summary

HB4107 is a Mississippi appropriations bill that provides $500,000 from the State General Fund to the Board of Supervisors of Leake County for the purpose of helping pay for a new fire truck for the Marydell Volunteer Fire Department. The bill is limited to fiscal year 2027, beginning July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027, and directs that the funds be disbursed through the State Treasurer and State Fiscal Officer in the usual warrant and requisition process. The measure does not create a new regulatory program or amend substantive law; instead, it makes a one-time, targeted appropriation for local public safety equipment. Its practical effect would be to support a volunteer fire department in Leake County by offsetting the cost of replacing or acquiring a fire truck, which could improve emergency response capacity and fire protection in the Marydell area.

Impact

HB4107 would appropriate state general funds for a specific local government purpose, channeling money to Leake County to assist with a capital purchase for the Marydell Volunteer Fire Department. The bill affects state budget law for fiscal year 2027 by earmarking $500,000 for this project, but it does not amend any existing code sections or alter statewide policy beyond the appropriation itself. The primary beneficiaries would be Leake County officials and the volunteer fire department, with indirect benefits to residents who rely on local fire protection and emergency services.

Sentiment

Based on the bill text and available context, the bill appears to be straightforward and likely noncontroversial, with a clear public-safety purpose. There are no recorded committee transcripts or votes showing opposition or debate, and the caption suggests a localized infrastructure and emergency-services funding request. The overall sentiment is therefore neutral to favorable, centered on supporting a volunteer fire department with needed equipment funding.

Contention

No specific points of contention are documented in the available materials. If any concerns were raised, they would most likely relate to the use of state general funds for a county-specific expenditure, the size of the appropriation, or prioritization of local projects over other statewide needs. However, the record provided does not show any named opponents, amendments, or disputed issues.
