“After the conclusion of the 2024 Legislative Session, I announced the Select Committee on Tax Reform that is  Co-Chaired by Trey Lamar and Scott Bounds. This summer, the Committee began their evaluations and  considerations of our state’s tax code. This Policy Summit is another step in the House’s commitment to  building Mississippi up to have the most appealing tax structure in the nation”, says Speaker Jason White. “It is  the vision of the House of Representatives that we accelerate our pathway to eliminating the personal income  tax so that we reward Mississippians’ hard work, not tax it. The Select Committee has been working hard in  studying our grocery tax and providing relief to Mississippians when they go through the checkout line to  provide for their families.” Speaker Jason White continues, “It is exciting to be assembling this Policy Summit  that will be free to the public to encourage engagement from all interested parties so lawmakers, tax experts,  and any Mississippian can partake in robust conversation that will lead to a better, brighter Mississippi.”
