SB 2844 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Sales tax revenue; divert 2% from activities at Coast Coliseum and State Fairgrounds for repairs to those entities.

SB 2844 redirects 2% of Mississippi's state sales tax revenue collected from activities at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center to a dedicated trust fund for that venue's capital repairs or major improvements. It also redirects 2% of sales tax revenue from the Mississippi State Fairgrounds to a special fund managed by the Department of Agriculture for the fairgrounds' capital repairs or major improvements. The bill ensures these funds can only be used for physical infrastructure upgrades at these specific venues, not for operational costs. This directly affects the Coliseum/Convention Center and State Fairgrounds by creating dedicated funding streams for their facility maintenance.
