Bill > SB2764

This bill brings forward existing Mississippi laws related to hunting and fishing licenses, specifically sections 49-7-3, 49-7-5, 49-7-151, 49-7-153, and 49-7-155 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, for potential amendment. These sections define who is eligible for resident hunting and fishing licenses, outlining requirements for domicile and providing exceptions for active military personnel and certain disabled individuals. The bill also details various types of licenses, including combination licenses, small game licenses, sportsman's licenses, and special apprentice and youth licenses, along with their associated fees. Furthermore, it establishes provisions for lifetime sportsman licenses, including different fee structures based on age and residency status, and creates the Mississippi Wildlife Endowment Fund, which will be funded by the sale of these lifetime licenses and can only be used for wildlife conservation and departmental operations, with expenditures limited to the interest earned on the fund's principal.
