As used in Sections 57-13-101 through 57-13-109:
"Economic development tax incentive" includes those tax credits, deductions, exemptions, exclusions, and other preferential tax benefits or incentives enacted before or after July 1, 2014, for the purpose of recruitment or retention of businesses in the State of Mississippi.
"Economic development program" includes those statutory economic development programs that utilize the proceeds of state general obligation bonds for the purpose of recruitment or retention of businesses in the State of Mississippi.
In determining whether a tax incentive or economic development program is or was enacted for "the purpose of recruitment or retention of businesses," the University Research Center shall consider legislative intent, including legislative statements of purpose and goals, and may also consider whether the tax incentive or program is promoted as a business incentive by the Mississippi Development Authority or other state agency.
