MS SB2041

Removes "cultural retail attraction" from the definition of qualifying tourism projects under the Tourism Project Incentive Program in Mississippi Code Sections 57-26-1 and 57-26-5.

Eliminates the standalone category for cultural retail attractions that required a minimum $50 million private investment and specific cultural/historical interpretive elements.

Changes the certificate issuance deadline from July 1, 2014 (for cultural retail attractions) to July 1, 2016 for all remaining tourism projects.

Grandfathers existing cultural retail properties that received certificates prior to the bill's effective date, allowing them to continue participating under previous program terms and conditions.

Retains cultural or historical interpretive centers and museums as qualifying tourism projects under the main category requiring minimum $10 million private investment.
