State park fee; authorize MDWFP to provide discount to senior citizens age 65 and older.

HB 1247 would have required the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (MDWFP) to provide a permanent 10% discount on state park admission fees to senior citizens aged 65 and older. This discount would apply to all state parks and be in addition to any existing promotional discounts offered at specific parks. The bill aimed to make state park access more affordable for seniors without altering the department's fee-setting authority. However, the bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
