SB 3162 expands Mississippi's homestead property tax exemption to cover three new groups: homeowners aged 65 or older, their unremarried surviving spouses, and honorably discharged veterans or active-duty military members. The bill replaces the current tiered exemption system (which capped relief at $7,500) with a full exemption from all property taxes on the home's full assessed value for these qualifying individuals. This means eligible homeowners in these categories would pay $0 in property taxes on their primary residence, rather than the partial relief under existing law. The change applies to all property taxes (including school and county taxes) and takes effect upon the homeowner claiming the exemption.

SB 3031 pauses planned reductions to Mississippi's individual income tax rates for earners above $10,000 annually. It requires an independent actuary to certify that the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) has an unfunded liability below 20% (meaning 80% funded) before tax cuts can proceed. The bill repeals a prior provision (Section 27-7-5.1) that would have further reduced taxes under certain fiscal conditions. This directly affects taxpayers earning over $10,000 annually by delaying tax rate decreases until PERS funding meets the specified threshold. The change is a direct policy adjustment to the tax code, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
