AI Summary
This bill modifies Mississippi law regarding homestead exemptions, which are tax breaks for homeowners on their primary residence. Primarily, it removes the requirement for counties to submit paper copies of homestead exemption applications to the Department of Revenue (DOR) and for the DOR to retain these paper originals. The bill also makes several other changes, such as reducing the number of copies of applications required from quadruplicate to triplicate, and updating references from "commission" to "department" to reflect the current administrative body. These changes aim to streamline the application and processing of homestead exemptions by moving away from paper-based submissions towards more efficient, likely digital, methods.
