MS SB2590

Amends Section 27-39-205 of the Mississippi Code to revise the required newspaper advertisement form when a county's proposed ad valorem tax assessment does not require an increase in its current millage rate.

Requires the advertisement to include specific language stating that taxpayers will "not pay more in ad valorem taxes" unless assessed values have increased since the last fiscal year.

Maintains existing requirements for advertisement size (at least one-fourth page), type size (no smaller than 18 point), placement outside legal notices sections, and publication once weekly for two weeks before budget adoption.

Requires the notice to include details of the public hearing (date, time, location), current and proposed budget revenue figures, percentage of revenue from ad valorem taxes, and statement that citizens may attend and speak.

Takes effect July 1, 2011.
