MS SB2910

Extends the repeal date of the Jackson Convention and Visitors Bureau and its supporting tax from July 1, 2015 to July 1, 2018.

Maintains the 1% tax on gross proceeds of sales from restaurants, hotels, motels, and alcoholic beverages consumed on premises within Jackson city limits to fund the bureau.

Requires the City of Jackson governing authorities to adopt a resolution within 60 days declaring intention to continue the tax, with publication in local newspapers for three consecutive weeks.

Allows qualified electors to petition for an election on tax continuation if 20% or 1,500 (whichever is less) file written protests within 45-60 days of the resolution adoption.

Exempts the tax continuation requirement if revenue has been contractually pledged for debt payment prior to the bill's effective date until such debt is satisfied.
