Homestead exemption; delete requirement that counties submit paper original of application for the DOR.

HB 1385 removes a requirement that Mississippi counties submit paper original applications for homestead exemptions to the Department of Revenue (DOR) and retain paper copies. This bill amends sections of Mississippi law to eliminate the physical paper submission and retention process for homestead exemption applications, affecting county tax assessors and the DOR. The bill does not change eligibility rules, application content, or the requirement for applicants to submit forms (including triplicate copies). It streamlines administrative procedures by removing paper-based handling, focusing solely on the procedural change for county and state offices.
