AI Summary

This bill authorizes the board of supervisors of any county in Mississippi located north of U.S. Highway 82 with a population between 9,000 and 19,000 to designate certain renewable energy projects as "transformative renewable energy projects." These designated projects would be assessed at 8% of their true value for ad valorem tax purposes, rather than the standard 15% assessment ratio for Class II and III property. This special assessment ratio would be in effect for as long as any fee-in-lieu of ad valorem taxes agreement between the project and the qualifying county remains in effect. The authority of the board of supervisors to designate such projects expires on December 31, 2022.
