Bill
HB 1650
Coahoma County trustees may use part of the county reserve and trust fund to repair the county-owned “Federal Building.”
Note on source material
- The packet you provided contains fragments from multiple unrelated bills (Arkansas appropriation language, an Indiana vapor‑products bill, an Illinois administrative‑procedure bill, and a range of legislative action entries). The only clear item that matches the Bill Information header is the title you supplied: “Coahoma County; provide trustees of county reserve and trust fund may use portion of fund to repair county owned ‘Federal Building’.”
- Because the full text for the Coahoma County bill was not included, the summary below is based on the bill title, classification, and available metadata. I highlight where information is missing and what to provide to make the summary definitive.
Purpose and intent
- Purpose: To authorize the trustees of Coahoma County’s reserve and trust fund to expend a portion of that fund for repairs to a county‑owned building identified as the “Federal Building.”
- Intent: Permit use of locally held reserve/trust funds for capital repair or rehabilitation of a county‑owned facility that is referred to as the “Federal Building,” presumably to preserve the building, maintain county operations housed there, or avoid higher costs later.
Key provisions (likely, based on the title — missing full text)
- Authorization: Trustees of the Coahoma County reserve and trust fund may allocate and spend a specified portion of the fund balance for repair work on the county‑owned “Federal Building.”
- Definitions: The bill would typically define “Federal Building” for purposes of the act (address/location or municipal property description) and possibly define “repair” (maintenance, renovation, capital improvements).
- Limitations/conditions: The measure may include limits (a dollar cap or percentage of the fund), procurement or contracting requirements, and directions for accounting and reporting to ensure compliance with county fiscal rules.
- Effective date/emergency clause: Local/private bills sometimes include an effective date or emergency clause to allow immediate work; your metadata shows the bill was “Approved by Governor,” which implies enactment (see Procedural/Timeline section).
Who is affected
- Coahoma County government — specifically the trustees who manage the county reserve and trust fund.
- County residents — use of reserve funds reduces that fund’s balance and could affect county fiscal flexibility.
- Contractors and preservation/restoration stakeholders who would perform the repair work.
- Tenants or services occupying the “Federal Building” who would benefit from repairs.
Procedural / timeline aspects
- Classification: Local and Private legislation (affects a specific county).
- Introduced: Dec 18, 2024 (per your header).
- Status: Marked “Approved by Governor” in your metadata (one legislative action entry shows “Approved by Governor — 2025-03-28”), indicating the bill likely became law; however, because the document bundle is mixed, please confirm the official enactment date and the issuing state (Coahoma County is in Mississippi; governor approval would be by the Mississippi Governor).
- Next steps (if enacted): Implementation by county trustees according to any statutory conditions; county fiscal officers should record the appropriation/transfer and comply with procurement and audit rules.
Missing / uncertain information (requested to finalize summary)
- Full bill text — to confirm precise authorization language, any dollar amounts or percentage limits, definitions, reporting requirements, and effective date.
- The state identified for enactment (Coahoma County is MS; documents provided include bills from AR, IN, and IL).
- Exact enactment date and any emergency clause language.
If you can provide the bill’s full text or confirm the state and enacted language, I will produce a definitive, clause‑by‑clause summary and list the specific fiscal impacts and compliance obligations.
