Sales tax; bring forward certain section of law authorizing various exemptions.
HB 508 is a procedural bill that moves Section 27-65-111 of Mississippi’s sales tax law to a new location in the code to facilitate future amendments. It does not change any existing sales tax exemptions - such as those for hospitals, newspapers, medical supplies, or funeral goods - but simply reorganizes the section where these exemptions are currently listed. The bill’s sole purpose is to make it easier to amend the exemption rules later, without altering who qualifies for exemptions or the specific exemptions themselves. This is purely a technical reorganization of the law’s structure.
