HB 1602 updates Mississippi's driver's license administrative procedures. It renames the "Highway Safety Patrol and Driver's License Act of 1938" to the "Driver's License Act," removes Jackson as the mandatory location for the Commissioner's office, and requires license examiners to input all application decisions (approved/rejected) into a digital "system of record." The bill also eliminates outdated requirements, such as a website link for "Wait Anywhere Appointment" scheduling and mandatory video tapes for visually impaired applicants, while adding new digital record-keeping for funds and license suspensions. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025.
