Constitution; amend to restore authority to tax Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Plant to Claiborne County.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change Mississippi's tax rules for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Plant. It would restore Claiborne County's direct authority to tax the plant and require at least 70% of the tax revenue generated to stay in the county for local services like infrastructure, education, and healthcare. Currently, a 1986 provision redistributes these taxes, which the bill argues harms Claiborne County despite it hosting the facility. The amendment must be approved by voters in November 2026.
