AI Summary
This bill revises provisions related to limitations on ad valorem tax increases and revenues, primarily by reducing the allowable annual increase in ad valorem tax receipts from ten percent (10%) to two percent (2%) for most political subdivisions, though certain levies like those for school districts, roads, bridges, and bond payments are excluded from this limitation. The bill also introduces a requirement for taxing authorities to adopt a resolution declaring their intention to increase taxes before implementing any increase, and in some cases, requires an election for such increases. Additionally, it makes conforming amendments to various sections of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to align with these changes, including provisions for school districts to approve tax increases and adjustments to how these limitations apply to specific funds and entities.
