The provisions of the “Homestead Exemption Law of 1946” are hereby modified and clarified as stated in the subsequent subsections of this section, and all restrictions, limitations and changes made by this section are supplemental to and cumulative of the provisions now contained in said law of 1946. A home, as defined in this article, shall be the legal domicile of the owner and his family group, excepting in those cases where the law permits exemption to an owner who maintains a home for dependents of the claimant or where the law permits an exemption to an owner who holds a remainder interest in the dwelling and eligible land as defined in Section 27-33-17(h). All eligible claimants for homestead exemption in all instances shall have their legal domicile in the State of Mississippi, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of this state, shall be subject to and comply with the income tax laws, shall be subject to and comply with the road and bridge privilege tax laws thereof, and shall not be an elector in any other state. No claimant for homestead exemption shall be eligible for exemption if the claimant or the claimant’s spouse has failed to comply with the income tax laws of this state or if the claimant or the claimant’s spouse claims that he or she is a resident of some other state when assessed with income taxes in this state. No claimant for homestead exemption shall be eligible for exemption if the claimant or the claimant’s spouse in the homestead has failed to comply with the road and bridge privilege tax laws or asserts that any motor vehicle owned by and/or in the possession of any one or more of such persons, in whole or in part, has its legal situs in some other state. Displaying a license plate of some other state on such motor vehicle shall be prima facie proof that such assertion has been made. Homestead exemption applications disapproved or disallowed exclusively because of the failure of the claimant or the claimant’s spouse to comply with the income tax laws and/or road and bridge privilege tax laws of this state may be subsequently approved or allowed, as the case may be, when sufficient proof is submitted that such tax laws have been fully complied with by such persons. The provisions of this section shall apply to and govern the taxes levied for the fiscal year ending in 1948 and to each fiscal year thereafter.
