City of Starkville; extend repeal date on economic development, tourism/convention tax.

SB 2925 extends the expiration date for a 2% tax on restaurant sales in Starkville, Mississippi, ensuring the tax continues beyond its original end date. The tax applies to gross income from prepared food and beverages at restaurants, collected similarly to sales tax. Revenue is distributed as follows: 15% to the Economic Development Authority, 15% to the Visitors and Convention Council, 10% to the city for development, 40% to Starkville parks for improvements, and 20% to Mississippi State University for student activities. The bill does not change the tax rate or distribution percentages, only the date when the tax would otherwise expire.
