SB 2488 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Public Records Act; exempt certain records concerning economic development projects.

SB 2488 would exempt certain confidential records related to economic development projects from Mississippi's Public Records Act. Specifically, it would prevent public disclosure of business terms and negotiation details during project review (up to one year total) and block access to specific financial data about tax incentives, including mFlex agreements and investment breakouts reported under state economic development laws. This applies to public bodies like local governments and the Mississippi Development Authority handling such projects. The exemption would last during negotiations and for 30 days after project approval or rejection, but does not cover annual reports required by law.
