HB 1945 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

City of Florence; extend repealer on bar and restaurant tax.

HB 1945 extends the expiration date for a law that allows the City of Florence to collect a tax on bars and restaurants until December 31, 2028. This tax, which would cap at two percent of gross sales, is intended to fund economic development projects and recreational facilities within the city. The bill does not create a new tax but rather delays the end date for the existing authority, ensuring the city can continue to levy the fee if it chooses to do so after a public vote.
