Motor vehicle license tag; authorize dealers to issue temporary tags to purchasers.
HB 712 allows Mississippi motor vehicle dealers to issue temporary license tags to new vehicle buyers. These tags permit drivers to operate vehicles on state roads for up to 30 days (for Mississippi residents) or for the period required by the buyer's home state (for nonresidents), until a permanent tag is obtained. Dealers may charge a $5 fee per temporary tag, and tags must be properly displayed as required by state regulations. The bill also updates related sections of Mississippi’s vehicle tax and title laws to implement this change.
