Bill > HB1849

This bill exempts leasehold interests or subleases conveyed to nonprofit organizations for the development, support, improvement, administration, or operation of state park lands from ad valorem taxation, meaning property taxes will not be applied to these specific interests. Additionally, it exempts sales of tangible personal property or services to these same nonprofit organizations when those purchases are for improvements or repairs to state park lands covered by such leases or subleases, thereby exempting them from sales tax. The bill also includes language to bring forward Section 55-3-47 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, which outlines the powers and duties of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks regarding state parks, for potential future amendments. This legislation aims to encourage and support the management and enhancement of Mississippi's state parks by providing tax relief to the nonprofit organizations involved.
