The Secretary of State formed the Corporations Law Study Group in June 2011 to review Mississippi’s corporation laws. The Group was composed of business leaders and lawyers from across the State. The Group’s primary objective was to recommend changes to existing laws which would encourage companies to move their corporate headquarters to Mississippi.
The Corporations Laws Study Group recommended four legislative proposals introduced in the Mississippi Legislature in 2012: (1) Amendments to the Mississippi Business Corporation Act; (2) an Employee Pass Through Tax Credit; (3) a Headquarters Relocation Tax Credit; and (4) an Expansion Relocation Tax Credit.
