Use tax; revise standards for municipality's eligibility to receive monies from special infrastructure assistance fund. | Alive | ||
Analysis: The bill clarifies that a municipality cannot receive more funds in state assistance than they spend of their own funds. This would keep cities from fully relying on state government assistance and instead and make them spend their own money first, but this will still result in taxpayer dollars being used for infrastructure, which is debatable if it is even a proper function of government. | ||||

Mississippi Small Business Investment Company Act; increase the amount of investment tax credits that can be allocated under. | Alive | ||
Analysis: This bill provides insurance companies a 100% tax credit for their investment in a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC). That means there’s no risk to the insurance company, but they can own up to 15% of the SBIC. It sounds like a good bill, but it will only help a few well-connected ones. This is a giveaway of $45 million from the general fund over 6 years. | ||||
