MS HB1466

Allows seafood and crawfish sellers to label products by country of origin instead of simply "domestic" or "imported"

Permits food service establishments to use a clearly visible legend on menus rather than labeling each seafood item individually, provided the legend appears on the same page in the same font size as the products

Exempts seafood and crawfish products already complying with federal Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) requirements from state labeling rules, except for grocery stores and seafood markets selling fresh or unfrozen products directly to consumers

Maintains civil penalties for violations ranging from $500-$1,000 for first offense (after 3-day correction period) up to $10,000 for fourth and subsequent violations, with potential license suspension or revocation

Effective date of July 1, 2026, with an automatic repeal on June 30, 2026 (Note: This appears to be a drafting error as the repeal date precedes the effective date)
