HB 192 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Driver's license; suspend for failure of accused to appear in court.

HB 192 would require Mississippi court clerks to automatically suspend a driver's license if a person fails to appear in court for a traffic violation within 30 days of receiving a notice of their missed court date. The bill directs clerks to notify the driver and send their license information to the Department of Public Safety after 30 days of non-appearance, leading to license suspension until the person appears in court or resolves their charges. Drivers could have their licenses reinstated by scheduling a new court date, appearing for their hearing, or having their case resolved, with a possible reinstatement fee. This bill directly affects individuals with unresolved traffic citations who miss their court appearances, creating a standardized process for license suspension and reinstatement.
