Firearm endorsement; require to be placed on driver's license.
HB 435 requires Mississippi's Department of Public Safety to add specific markings ("CCP" for concealed carry permit holders or "EHP" for enhanced firearm endorsements) to driver's licenses, temporary permits, and commercial licenses for individuals legally permitted to carry concealed firearms. This directly affects licensed firearm holders who must present their firearm permit at a driver's license office to receive the endorsement designation. The bill amends existing law to mandate this visual indicator on all relevant licenses, effective July 1, 2026. It does not change firearm licensing requirements but adds a visible identifier on driver's licenses for those with concealed carry permits.
