HB 4003: City of Southaven; extend repeal date on restaurant tax.

HB 4003 extends the expiration date of Southaven, Mississippi's 1% restaurant tax from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2030. This tax, approved by city voters, applies to sales of beverages and prepared food at restaurants within Southaven and must fund tourism, parks, and recreation initiatives. The bill does not change the tax rate, collection method, or voter approval requirements - it only delays the automatic repeal of the existing law. This extension directly affects Southaven's local government and restaurants operating within the city limits.

HB 4079: Jackson County; extend repeal date on county's hotel/motel tourism tax.

HB 4079 extends Jackson County’s existing 2% tourism tax on hotel and motel room rentals from ending in 2026 to 2030. The tax, which applies to overnight stays (not food or services), must be approved by voters (requiring 60% support) and funds must be used exclusively for tourism promotion in the county. Revenue collected is paid to the county board and must be dedicated to tourism activities, potentially including the Mississippi Gulf Coast Visitors Bureau. This change directly affects hotels and motels operating in Jackson County by maintaining their tax obligation for four additional years.
