Sales tax; bring forward certain of law authorizing various exemptions.
HB 1145 is a procedural bill that repositions an existing sales tax exemption section (Mississippi Code §27-65-111) within the state code for potential future amendment. It does not create new exemptions or alter any existing ones - only relocating the current list of exemptions (such as for hospitals, newspapers, medicines, and schools) to a different section of the law. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and never became law, so no policy changes occurred. This was purely an administrative reorganization of existing tax law.
