MS HB1435

Amends Section 19-9-111 of the Mississippi Code to modify notice requirements for county boards of supervisors levying taxes to support economic development districts.

Notice of intention to levy a tax is only required before the initial levy, except when the board intends to increase the levy above the amount stated in the initial notice.

Maintains existing provisions allowing boards to levy up to 2 mills on taxable property and requiring a 30-day publication period before implementing the levy.

Preserves the existing protest mechanism allowing 20% or 1,500 qualified electors (whichever is less) to trigger a special election on the proposed levy.

Takes effect July 1, 2016.
