Motor vehicle license plates; allow reuse from one vehicle to another under certain conditions.

HB 1035 would allow Mississippi vehicle owners to reuse their current license plates when purchasing a new vehicle (if they traded in a vehicle at a dealership) or when selling a vehicle privately and registering a new one for the first time. To qualify, the plate must match the required series for the new vehicle, be authorized for that vehicle type, and have been issued by the same county where the new vehicle is registered. This change would eliminate the need to purchase a new plate in these specific situations, potentially saving owners money. The bill does not alter registration fees, taxes, or other existing vehicle registration requirements.
