Notice of public hearing to change zoning regulations, restrictions and boundaries; revise time frame for.

HB 984 modifies Mississippi's zoning change process by requiring local governments to provide public hearing notices for zoning adjustments through social media platforms (in addition to traditional methods) and extending the appeal deadline for affected residents. Specifically, it adds social media as an acceptable notice method for public hearings on zoning changes, while changing the appeal filing window from 10 to 20 days after a zoning decision by local authorities. This bill directly affects residents, property owners, and local governments in municipalities and counties considering zoning amendments. The changes aim to improve public access to notice and provide more time for individuals to challenge zoning decisions through the courts.
