Bill > HC41

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 to repeal a 1986 provision that altered how the Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Plant is taxed. The resolution aims to restore Claiborne County's direct authority to tax the plant and ensure that at least 70% of the tax revenue generated by the plant remains within the county for local needs like infrastructure, education, and healthcare, while limiting the state's share to no more than 15%. This change is intended to address the perceived economic harm and unfairness Claiborne County has experienced as the host of the nuclear facility, which has significant risks and responsibilities associated with it. The proposed amendment will be put to a vote of the state's qualified electors in November 2026.
