SB 2052 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Disabled veterans license tags; authorize tags to be labeled.

SB 2052 allows Mississippi disabled veterans with a 100% permanent or 70%+ nonpermanent service-connected disability rating to have license tags labeled "100% Disabled Veteran" or "Disabled Veteran." This directly affects eligible veterans who currently qualify for discounted license tags under existing law (costing $1 annually). The bill adds a specific labeling requirement for these tags, replacing the previous standard tag design, and mandates that tags display the branch of service emblem starting July 2025. It does not change eligibility criteria, costs, or tax exemptions - only the visual designation on the tag.
