HB851

Mississippi HB851 would authorize an additional round of fire trucks for counties and municipalities under the Rural Fire Truck Acquisition.

Mississippi HB851 amends the Rural Fire Truck Acquisition Assistance Program to authorize an additional round of fire trucks for counties and municipalities. It removes the requirement that a county has received funding for no more than eight rounds from the Rural Truck Acquisition Assistance Program in order to receive additional matching. The bill specifies the number and cost limits for fire trucks based on the number previously received by the county. The Department of Insurance administers the program, maintains records, and reports to the Legislature.
