Bill > SB2893

This bill revises the procedures and timelines for local governments in Mississippi to make zoning changes and for individuals to appeal those decisions. Specifically, it mandates that notice of public hearings for zoning changes must be published on three popular social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and X) and in a local newspaper, both 30 days and 15 days before the hearing, in addition to making proposed changes available for public review at the local government office and library, and on the government's website if one exists, at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Furthermore, the bill extends the time limit for appealing a decision by a county board of supervisors or a municipal governing authority regarding zoning matters from 10 days to 20 days after the decision is rendered, and requires a copy of the zoning appeal to be filed with the city clerk or chancery clerk.
