Sales tax; deposit portion of revenue derived from certain motor vehicle rentals into the Economic Development and Infrastructure Fund.

HB 1331 would have required businesses renting motor vehicles for short terms (under 30 days) to pay a 6% sales tax on rental income, excluding vehicles over 10,000 pounds. It would have directed $1 million annually from this tax revenue into Mississippi’s Economic Development and Infrastructure Fund, with the remaining funds sent to the county where the rental occurred. Counties would have distributed the remaining revenue to local governments and school districts using the same rules as property tax distributions. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.
