Boyd Mason Act; create sales tax exemption for veterans having 100% permanent service-connected disability.

HB 1659, the Boyd Mason Act, would have created a sales tax exemption in Mississippi for veterans with 100% permanent service-connected disability. It would have exempted purchases of everyday items like clothing, furniture, or appliances for these veterans, their surviving spouses, and household members acting on their behalf (with VA certification). The exemption required VA certification and limited annual exempt sales. The bill died in committee in February 2025.
