Veterans; allow free admission to state parks and museums.
SB 2663 would have provided free entry to all Mississippi state parks and museums funded by the state for military veterans holding valid service identification. The bill amended Section 55-3-33 of Mississippi law to require these facilities to waive admission fees for eligible veterans. It was scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026, but died in committee on February 3, 2026, meaning it did not become law. This policy change would have directly affected veterans seeking access to state recreational and cultural sites.
