Public records exemption for Dept of Marine Resources recreational license holders; provide.

SB 2273 would exempt Mississippi Department of Marine Resources records related to recreational fishing license applications and holders from public disclosure under the state's Public Records Act. This applies specifically to resident and nonresident recreational licenses (not commercial licenses) and would prevent these records from being publicly accessible without specific exceptions. Records could only be released: (1) by court order, (2) with approval from the Department Director for environmental or fishing benefits, or (3) to law enforcement agencies upon request. The bill aims to protect personal information of recreational license holders while maintaining limited access for law enforcement and judicial purposes.
