Bayou Casotte Industrial Zone Establishment Act; enact.

SB 2863 establishes the Bayou Casotte Industrial Zone in unincorporated Jackson County, Mississippi, to promote industrial growth and economic development. The bill directly affects property owners and businesses within the defined zone by prohibiting municipalities from annexing any portion of it, preventing additional property taxes or municipal services without equivalent benefits. Key provisions include setting specific boundaries for the zone, declaring annexation attempts void, and ensuring existing tax exemptions and economic incentives remain available. This policy change aims to maintain the zone's competitiveness for industrial investment by avoiding dual taxation that could harm local economic growth.
