MS HB319

Spouses of active military personnel stationed in Mississippi may now obtain concealed carry permits without meeting the state residency requirement, joining active military members, valid out-of-state permit holders, and retired law enforcement officers already granted this waiver

License renewal process simplified by replacing the notarized affidavit requirement with a certification that the licensee remains qualified under existing criteria

Petitions to review driver's license forfeitures, suspensions, or denials must now be served upon both the Attorney General and the Commissioner of Public Safety

Concealed carry license fees remain at $80 for initial applications and $40 for renewals, with exemptions for retired law enforcement, disabled veterans, and active duty military; renewal fee reduced to $20 for residents 65 and older

Effective date: July 1, 2021
