Bill > SB2664

This bill amends Mississippi law to increase the age threshold from 13 to 18 years old for individuals to qualify for a reduced issuance rate when purchasing a lifetime sportsman hunting and fishing license, meaning those under 18 will now pay the same reduced fee as those under 13 previously did, while those 18 and older will pay the full fee. This change also affects the requirement for a certified birth certificate, which will now be needed for individuals 17 years of age or younger, rather than those 12 years of age or younger, to prove their age for the license. The bill also makes similar adjustments to the "native son or daughter" lifetime licenses, ensuring the age distinction for reduced rates and birth certificate requirements aligns with the general lifetime license changes.
