Distinctive motor vehichle license tag; authorize issuance to supporters of promoting peace.
HB 1601 would have authorized Mississippi residents to purchase special license tags supporting "Promoting Peace" through the Promote Peace Foundation and Mississippi Rotary clubs, requiring a $30 annual fee on top of standard registration. The bill specified that $24 of each fee would fund peacebuilding initiatives, $1 would go to the Mississippi Burn Care Fund, $2 to highway maintenance, and $1 to another state fund. It was set to take effect July 1, 2025, but died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law. The bill directly affected vehicle owners who chose to pay the additional fee to display the special tag.
