Mississippi SB2684 amends the Mississippi Code to redefine "blight" or "blighted" to include dilapidation, code violations, nuisance conditions, environmental hazards, and neglect. The bill requires the Secretary of State to determine if certain lands are blighted upon petition from a tax sale purchaser and payment of a fee. It also reduces the period of adverse possession for blighted property from ten years to one year. The Secretary of State is tasked with managing and disposing of forfeited lands, including signing and recording all conveyances and leases.
