AI Summary
- Establishes the Bayou Casotte Industrial Zone in unincorporated Jackson County, Mississippi, with specific geographic boundaries defined by township and section coordinates
- Prohibits any municipality from annexing any portion of the zone, declaring any such annexation or attempted annexation (including pending actions) null and void
- Legislature finds the zone is industrial in character, suited for industrial expansion rather than residential or retail development, and that municipal annexation would impose additional ad valorem tax burdens without commensurate services
- Property owners within the zone remain subject to ad valorem taxation by Jackson County and the Pascagoula-Gautier Municipal School District
- Preserves all existing and future economic development incentives, including industrial property tax exemptions and tax credits, for entities operating within the zone
