SB2427

Clarifies prohibition on hunting on streets, highways, levees, and railroads in Mississippi.

Senate Bill 2427 amends Section 97-15-13 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to clarify the prohibition against hunting on any street, public road, public highway, levee, or railroad. The amendment aims to align with the United States and Mississippi Constitutions, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller and New York Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. The bill imposes fines and imprisonment for violations, exempting law enforcement officers in the performance of duty and individuals acting in self-defense or protecting property or livestock.
