Sales tax; create diversion to the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District.
HB 95 redirects 18.5% of Mississippi's sales tax revenue collected from business activities within the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District's designated area (on district-owned property outside municipal limits) to fund the district directly. This changes the existing tax distribution formula, which previously allocated that portion to local municipalities. The bill specifically affects the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District by providing it with dedicated funding for its operations and infrastructure. The change applies to sales tax revenue collected in counties where the district operates, as defined by the bill's geographic scope. The bill was referred to committee but died there in February 2025.
