Senate Bill 2147 (http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2013/pdf/history/SB/SB2147.xml ) has moved out of the Mississippi State Senate on a 51-0 vote and has been referred to Mississippi House where an identical bill LAST YEAR (HB1265 - 2012) passed unanimously in the House on a vote of 121-0.
The Mississippi Economic Redevelopment Act has been lauded for its ability to give
Mississippi "a competitive redevelopment incentive to successfully
entice private sector developers to cleanup and reuse brownfield
sites." SB 2147 includes a provision for removing the December 31, 2009
sunset provision to revive the Act and expanding the definition of
“contaminated site” to include all brownfield sites within the State
which should allow this economic redevelopment incentive to be utilized
statewide.
