AI Summary
This bill extends the hunting season for several game animals in Mississippi by an additional day when the season would normally end on a Saturday. Specifically, if the open season for deer, bobwhite quail, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbits, or fur-bearing animals (including an additional season for raccoons) concludes on a Saturday, the season will now remain open until 30 minutes after sunset on the following Sunday, providing hunters with more time.
