Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 29-1-75, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Extend The Date Of Repeal On The Restrictions Imposed On The Purchase Of Public Lands By Certain Corporations And Nonresident Aliens; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill extends the repeal date for a law that restricts who can purchase public lands in Mississippi. Currently, corporations and nonresident aliens (individuals who are not residents of Mississippi) are generally prohibited from buying public lands, with some exceptions. These exceptions allow banking corporations to purchase lands they own or hold mortgages on, other nonbanking corporations to purchase tax-forfeited lands with acreage limits, and nonresident aliens to acquire up to 320 acres for industrial development or up to 5 acres for residential purposes, provided the land is used for those specific purposes. This bill pushes back the date when these restrictions would automatically expire from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2029.
