AI Summary

This bill modifies economic development incentives in Mississippi by phasing out the income tax exemption for certain data center projects after calendar year 2026, revising the definition of a "project" under the Mississippi Major Economic Impact Act to include specific criteria for various industries, and establishing a new "Mississippi Strategic Development Fund" to receive a portion of fees paid in lieu of ad valorem taxes for very large projects (over $2 billion in capital investment) initiated after July 1, 2026, with funds to be used for infrastructure and economic development. Additionally, the bill adjusts how payments made by a nuclear generating plant in lieu of property taxes are distributed, allocating specific amounts to Jefferson County for transportation infrastructure related to disaster preparedness and to the City of Jackson, while also revising the formula for allocating proceeds from such taxes paid by the Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Plant.
