State park fee; authorize MDWFP to provide discount to senior citizens age 65 and older.
HB 802 would require the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP) to offer a permanent 10% discount on standard state park admission fees to all senior citizens aged 65 and older. This discount applies directly to the base fee and is in addition to any existing promotional discounts for specific parks. The bill does not alter fees for other visitors but creates a new, automatic benefit for seniors at all state parks. It specifically authorizes MDWFP to implement this change without requiring new legislative approval each year.
