Lifetime sportsman hunting and fishing license; increase threshold for reduced issuance rate from 13 to 18 years of age.
SB 2664 would amend Mississippi law to increase the age threshold for a reduced fee on lifetime sportsman hunting and fishing licenses from 13 to 18 years. This change means residents aged 13 through 17 would qualify for a $500 reduced fee (currently only available to those under 13), instead of paying the full $1,000 rate for adults. The bill does not alter other requirements, such as residency proof or age verification documentation. The policy change is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026.
