HC 27

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would overturn a 1986 tax provision and give Claiborne County direct authority to tax the Grand Gulf Nuclear Power Plant, with the county retaining at least 70 percent of all tax revenues generated by the facility. According to the bill's supporters, the current revenue-sharing system has unfairly deprived Claiborne County of resources needed for infrastructure, education, and healthcare, despite the county bearing the risks of hosting a nuclear power plant. If approved by voters in November 2026, this amendment would ensure that counties hosting high-risk facilities receive a proportionate share of the tax revenues generated within their jurisdiction.
