City of Jackson Revitalization Act; create.
HB 1702, the "City of Jackson Revitalization Act," would create a dedicated City of Jackson Development Fund to receive revenue from new fees imposed on gaming establishments operating as part of a "Project" under Mississippi's gaming law. It directs these fees - collected from license holders - to fund loans and grants for business development, infrastructure, and capital improvements in Jackson, including a $100 million capital improvement credit for existing gaming operators. The bill also modifies alcohol control laws to treat gaming projects as "leisure and recreation districts" for regulatory purposes. The proposed fund would operate under state treasury oversight, with disbursements requiring legislative approval.
