City of Southaven; extend repeal date on restaurant tax.
SB 2930 extends the expiration date for a 1% tax on restaurant sales (beverages and prepared food) in Southaven, Mississippi. This tax, originally authorized to fund tourism and parks initiatives, was set to expire but is now extended under the same rules. The bill does not change the tax rate, collection method, or voter approval requirements (which still require a 60%+ vote in a local election). It directly affects restaurants operating within Southaven that collect this tax from customers. The extension applies to the existing tax structure, not a new policy.
