HB 1629 Income tax; phase out for individuals, related purposes; included provisions for elim-
ination of the personal income tax, deductions for self-employment taxes, and a phaseout of the business franchise tax (taxing a business on its capital/investment, which

by MS employers; died in the House needing a 3/5ths majority vote for passage
HB 153 MS Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities; provides for the increase in time (from
life plus 21 yrs currently) to 110 yrs (for real property) and 360 yrs (for personal property)
for trusts in perpetuity; makes MS banks and trust/estate planners competitive with
surrounding states

imposed on corporations, to enact deductions for the self-employed, and to reduce
personal income taxes; strongly supported by the business community
HB 710 Suits against the state, MS Supreme Court to have original jurisdiction; for legal
complaints filed against the state of MS, this would have provided for MS Supreme
Court (Chief Justice) to designate a state circuit judge and court location from
anywhere within MS to preside over the case and required that the Governor, Attorney
General, and MS House and Senate leaders be notified
SC 637 Urge EPA to withdraw proposed Clean Power Plan; legislative resolution strongly
opposing the U.S. EPAs proposed Clean Power Plan which could raise energy costs
by an est. 40-100%; would usurp MS law regarding regulation of electricity production
and distribution
SB 2389 Compact for a Balanced Budget; this bill has MS becoming the 3rd state to support an
amendment to the US Constitution requiring a balanced federal budget; is composed
of limits to federal borrowing, state approval for Congress to increase debt limits, and
would require a 2/3rds vote of Congress for most tax increases
SB 2457 Employment Security Law; create the Mississippi Works Fund; called for the creation
of the MS Works Fund for workforce training utilizing surplus unemployment trust
funds; supported by both chambers but died in conference committee
SB 2207 Alcoholic beverage license tax; results in reduction by 50% of the additional privilege
fee levied against on premise retailers by the MS ABC; revenue from the fees have
been split between state and city/county where the permit is domiciled; this eliminates
the state tax portion
HB 346 MS Motor Vehicle Safety-Responsibility Law, allow certain exclusions; allows for
exclusions/limitations for the required motor vehicle liability insurance in MS; provides
for op-out choices for policy-holders resulting in a reduced assumption of risk
