AI Summary
This bill allows for the supplemental feeding of deer on private lands using agricultural products naturally grown in Mississippi, such as alfalfa, corn, or soybeans, regardless of whether the land is located within a Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Management Zone. CWD is a serious neurological disease affecting deer. The bill amends existing law to permit this type of feeding, while still allowing the Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks to implement restrictions and take necessary actions to prevent and control disease, except where it conflicts with this new provision for feeding naturally grown agricultural products. It also makes conforming changes to another section of the law related to CWD prevention programs.
