Summary

The bill changes Mississippi law so that when a property’s redemption period ends, the tax‑sale purchaser who requests a deed gets perfect fee‑simple title, and if no one requests it, the title goes to the Secretary of State. It also requires the chancery clerk to notify the most recent buyers and to submit a list of unredeemed lands to the Secretary of State within 150 days after redemption ends. The goal is to make the transfer of forfeited property clearer and faster.
