HB 1470 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Veterans; exempt from fees for entry and use of parks and recreational facilities established by Pat Harrison Waterway District.

HB 1470 exempts veterans from paying entry and use fees at public parks and recreational facilities operated by Mississippi's Pat Harrison Waterway District. This applies to any veteran presenting valid military identification, such as a DD-214 or discharge documents, at the time of entry. The bill amends existing law to explicitly grant this fee exemption for facilities established under the district's authority. It does not change other fees, eligibility criteria, or the district's broader water management powers.
