Crawfish farm; require a license to operate.

SB 2639 requires anyone operating a crawfish farm in Mississippi to obtain a license from the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce (MDAC). It directly affects crawfish farmers who raise crawfish in privately owned ponds or waters, mandating they apply for this license before farming. The bill directs MDAC to create rules for issuing and overseeing these licenses, which will take effect on July 1, 2026. This establishes a regulatory framework for crawfish farming operations within the state.
