AI Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner of Public Safety to add a specific endorsement to driver's licenses, temporary driving permits, or commercial driver's licenses for individuals who are properly licensed to carry a concealed firearm. The endorsement, which could be "CCP" (Concealed Carry Permit) or "EHP" (Enhanced Handgun Permit), or another similar mark, will identify the person as a licensed firearm holder. To obtain this endorsement, the individual must present their firearm permit at a Mississippi Department of Public Safety Driver's License Station. This change is proposed to Section 63-1-35 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, which currently outlines various features and endorsements for driver's licenses, such as those for sex offenders and veterans. The bill also specifies that it will take effect on July 1, 2026.
