As a result, the Town of Bolton may experience enhancements in police operational effectiveness and community relations through improved police facilities.

Summary

House Bill 388 is a legislative measure aimed at providing financial support to the governing authorities of the Town of Bolton, Mississippi. Specifically, the bill proposes an appropriation of $200,000 from the State General Fund to assist in financing the renovations of the facilities of the local police department for the fiscal year 2027.
