2020 Mississippi Code|Title 57 - Planning, Research and Development|Chapter 11 - Market and Industrial Studies and Research|Market Research and Plant Design and Engineering|§ 57-11-35. Offering of plant designs, etc., to individuals or groups; repayment of plant engineering costs by users of designs, etc.

 The Mississippi Agricultural and Industrial Board is authorized and empowered to offer the market research information and such plant designs, blueprints, estimates of operation and other information obtained as the result of the surveys and studies authorized by Sections 57-11-31 through 57-11-39 to any individual or group of individuals in Mississippi, including any governmental subdivision thereof. However, the Mississippi Agricultural and Industrial Board shall inform such individuals or group of individuals desiring to make use of such plans, specifications and other information that the cost of the actual design, engineering and other work connected with each proposed plant, but not the cost of the special market research, has come from a revolving fund established by the Mississippi Legislature under Sections 57-11-31 through 57-11-39, and that the cost of such plant engineering services must be included by such individuals or group of individuals in the total cost of the new plant and the amount repaid to the state treasurer, to be placed in the said revolving fund, and thereby made available to pay for the cost of additional engineering and other services in connection with the design of plants for the use by other individuals. The Mississippi Agricultural and Industrial Board, after having investigated and confirmed the financial responsibility of the applicant, shall require each individual or group of individuals building a plant by the plans and specifications so provided to enter into a valid, legal and binding obligation to repay the cost of such plant engineering to the "plant engineering revolving fund" maintained in the state treasury, in an amount each year and over a period of years to be fixed by the said board in its discretion. If the individual or group of individuals building a plant by the plans and specifications so provided shall enter into a contract with any municipality for the construction of a plant from the proceeds of bonds to be issued under the provisions of Sections 57-1-1 through 57-1-51, known as the "Balance Agriculture With Industry Law," then the cost of such plant engineering shall be included as a part of the initial cost of the building and shall be repaid to the state treasurer from the proceeds of the sale of said bonds.

All moneys repaid by individuals or groups of individuals in return payment for such plant engineering will be credited to the "plant engineering revolving fund" so that additional studies can be made on the same basis and under the same conditions as provided in Sections 57-11-31 through 57-11-39.

If the Director of the University Research Center determines that preparation of such report shall adversely affect in a material manner any work or projects of the center which are being performed by staff persons preparing the report required by this section, the director may request the Legislative Budget Committee to reduce the requirements of this section as to the contents of the report for one (1) year, but in no event shall the report contain less than the dollar amount of each such tax expenditure required to be included therein.
