State-owned tidelands and submerged lands; create study committee to address certain issues and make recommendations.

This bill creates a temporary study committee to examine the management and regulation of Mississippi's state-owned coastal lands (tidelands and submerged lands), including how rents are determined and when lands are used rent-free. The committee, composed of legislative members, coastal municipal officials, and private sector representatives (gaming and small business), must study these issues and submit recommendations to the Legislature by December 1, 2026. The committee will dissolve by January 1, 2027, and its work is limited to fact-finding and recommendations - no policy changes are made by the bill itself. It directly affects state agencies managing coastal resources and coastal communities with interests in land use.
