SUMMARY: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed a bill on March 27, 2025, to eliminate the state’s income tax, reduce the grocery tax, and fund infrastructure projects. The bill, authored by Rep. Trey Lamar, will gradually cut the personal income tax to 3% by 2030, with full elimination by 2037. The grocery sales tax will drop to 5% this summer. Despite legislative infighting, including a typo that expedited tax cuts, Reeves celebrated the law as a major achievement. While some lawmakers oppose the plan, proponents argue it will boost the state’s economy by returning funds to residents and promoting growth.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are struggling to finalize a budget for the state government after missing deadlines for funding that begins July 1, 2025.

The failure to agree has led to two funding options: extending the current session or calling a costly special session.
