Public Records Act; exempt certain license records of the Department of Marine Resources.

HB 660 exempts seafood license application records and related information held by Mississippi's Department of Marine Resources from public disclosure under the state's Public Records Act. This directly affects seafood businesses and license holders, as their application details and operational records would no longer be publicly accessible by default. The bill allows disclosure only if approved by the Department's Executive Director for fisheries/environmental purposes or ordered by a court, while still requiring access for law enforcement upon request. It modifies existing public records law to add this specific exemption, which would take effect July 1, 2025.
