HB 1265: Mississippi Debt Management Services Act; delete repealer on.

HB 1265 extends the repeal date of Mississippi's Debt Management Services Act from 2025 to 2030. This delays when the entire law will expire, keeping the current regulations in effect for another five years. The bill directly affects debt management service providers operating in Mississippi who must comply with existing licensing and operational requirements under the Act. The key mechanism is simply changing the sunset date in Section 81-22-31 of the Mississippi Code, without altering the substance of the regulations.

SB 2838: Local Option Alcoholic Beverage Control Law; revise definition of "qualified resort area."

This bill revises the definition of "qualified resort area" under Mississippi's Local Option Alcoholic Beverage Control Law. It directly affects hotels, resorts, and related businesses in areas designated as "qualified resort areas" regarding alcohol sales permissions. The amendment modifies Section 67-1-5 of Mississippi Code to adjust how these areas are defined, though the specific wording change isn't detailed in the provided text. This is a procedural adjustment to the legal definition governing alcohol regulations in designated resort regions.

SB 2138: Supreme Court districts; bring forward provisions related to.

SB 2138 is a procedural bill that moves several existing sections of Mississippi law to new locations in the state code for potential future amendment. It relocates provisions related to Supreme Court districts (including current county boundaries), the eight-year term for justices, election procedures for Supreme Court judges, the Mississippi Hospital Equipment and Facilities Authority, the State Highway Commission, and the Public Service Commission. The bill itself does not change any policies or create new requirements - it only reorganizes where these existing laws appear in the legal code. This makes the text easier to reference during future legislative review or proposed changes.

HB 338: 2026 Construction Training Assistance Fund; create and provide funding for.

HB 338 creates the "2026 Construction Training Assistance Fund" by redirecting a portion of Mississippi's state sales tax revenue into a new special fund. The bill directs the Mississippi Office of Workforce Development to provide grants to public community colleges, junior colleges, and K-12 school systems to cover costs for construction industry training programs for students. These grants will help institutions pay for training materials, instructor fees, and student participation in construction-related coursework, with funds administered through the Department of Employment Security. The legislation specifically modifies existing tax distribution rules to establish this dedicated funding stream for workforce development in the construction sector.

HB 1654: Judicial System Operation Fund; bring forward sections relating to.

This bill updates funding for Mississippi judicial offices by setting a $15,000 annual office operating allowance for circuit judges and chancellors (effective July 2023) and creating a $130,000 annual fund for support staff. It requires judges to get approval from the Administrative Office of Courts before hiring staff, with all support staff compensation and equipment costs drawn from this dedicated fund.

SB 2597: DFA; authorize the transfer and conveyance of ABC Warehouse to Madison County Economic Development Authority.

SB 2597 authorizes Mississippi's Department of Finance and Administration to transfer the ABC Warehouse property at 1286 Gluckstadt Road in Madison to the Madison County Economic Development Authority. The bill requires the state to sell the property for at least fair market value (determined by two certified appraisers), include a legal description in the deed, and deposit all sale proceeds (minus costs) into the State General Fund. The state retains mineral rights to the property, and the transfer can occur via public or private sale under terms set by the department. This directly affects Madison County's economic development efforts and state treasury funding.

SB 2893: Land use/zoning changes by local governments; revise procedure and time limitations.

Mississippi's SB 2893 revises how local governments (counties and municipalities) must notify the public about proposed zoning changes. It requires posting notices 30 days and 15 days before hearings on Facebook, Instagram, and X, plus in local newspapers, government offices, libraries, and websites. The bill maintains existing rules that zoning changes requiring a supermajority vote (3/5) must have 20% of affected property owners' signatures opposing the change. This affects all Mississippi local governments handling zoning amendments, focusing on transparency and accessibility of notice procedures.

HB 4069: Mississippi Severe Winter Storm of 2026 Electric Utility Customer Relief and Electric Utility System Restoration Act; create.

This bill creates a process for Mississippi electric utilities to recover repair costs from the 2026 severe winter storm through state-issued bonds. Utilities must request a financing order from the Public Service Commission, which, if approved, allows the state to issue bonds funded by a new "system restoration charge" collected from retail customers. The charge is adjusted annually to cover bond debt payments, with funds deposited into a sinking fund to repay bondholders. This mechanism shifts repair costs from immediate customer bills to long-term repayment via bonds, directly affecting electric utility customers through the new charge.

HB 4032: Tax credits; authorize for contributions by certain taxpayers to certain hospitals.

HB 4032 creates tax credits for Mississippi businesses that make voluntary cash donations to eligible hospitals. Eligible hospitals must be licensed, provide 24/7 emergency care, have 49 or fewer inpatient beds, and have hired both a healthcare consultant and a CPA for financial planning. Businesses can use these credits to offset up to 50% of their income tax, insurance premium tax, or property tax liability in a given year, with unused credits carried forward for up to five years. Donations cannot be deducted for state income tax purposes.

HB 4039: Income tax; revise credit for employers providing dependent/child care for employees.

HB 4039 modifies Mississippi's employer-dependent care tax credit by requiring child care stipends to be paid directly to licensed or registered care providers (reducing the previous minimum stipend amount). It caps the annual tax credit at $3,000 per child for participating employees, allows employers to instead claim a 75% rebate of the credit amount, and sets a $50,000 annual limit per employer. The bill also establishes a $5 million total annual cap for all credits and rebates statewide. This directly affects Mississippi employers providing dependent care benefits and licensed child care providers receiving stipends.
