SB 3381 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

City of Moss Point; extend repeal date on restaurant tax for tourism and parks and recreation.

This bill extends the expiration date of a restaurant tax in the City of Moss Point, Mississippi, from its original end date to July 1, 2030. The tax allows the city to collect up to 2% on sales of prepared food from restaurants to fund tourism and parks and recreation programs. Implementation requires a public referendum where at least 60% of voters must approve the tax before it takes effect, with strict rules about how the campaign is conducted and how funds are collected and spent. The bill also mandates separate accounting for tax revenues and annual audits to ensure funds are used only for their designated purposes.
