MS HB103

Creates the "Mississippi Seafood Marketing Law of 2021" requiring retailers and food service establishments to disclose the country of origin of seafood and seafood products at point-of-sale through labels, stamps, marks, or placards.

Establishes that seafood may only be labeled as United States origin if farm-raised seafood is hatched, raised, harvested and processed in the U.S., or if wild-captured seafood is harvested in U.S. waters and processed in the U.S.

Requires all retail and food service establishments to post visible signage stating "Seafood offered for direct retail sale or for consumption as a menu item in this establishment may be imported. Inquire further of management," unless the establishment only sells U.S.-origin seafood.

Authorizes the Commissioner of Agriculture and Executive Director of the Department of Marine Resources to inspect premises, pull samples for testing, maintain records, issue penalties up to $1,000 for first violations and up to $5,000 for subsequent violations, and suspend licenses for non-compliance.

Establishes an administrative hearing and appeals process for violations, allowing accused parties to respond within 30 days and appeal decisions to the circuit court and Mississippi Supreme Court.
