Jackson County added to ban on purse seines in Mississippi Sound
Summary
The committee approved an amendment to add Jackson County to a prohibition on purse seines in the Mississippi Sound after supervisors requested the change; the Chair said the amendment is limited to a single line change in the code.
The Chair said the bill would "add Jackson County to the areas that are prohibited" from using purse seines in the Mississippi Sound, noting the county had been left out of an earlier law. The change was requested by county supervisors and is limited to a single-line amendment to the referenced code section.
Committee members moved that the title be deemed sufficient and that the bill do pass; the Chair called the question and reported the bill out for further processing. The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. The committee will carry the amended bill forward for later consideration.
