Independent auto dealers; require continuing education for annual license renewal.

SB 2565 would require used motor vehicle dealers in Mississippi to complete six hours of continuing education annually to renew their licenses, administered by the Mississippi Independent Auto Dealers Association. At least one hour must cover titling and registration processes, and at least three hours must be in-person training. This applies to most used car dealers but excludes salvage vehicle dealers, manufactured home dealers, and franchised new car dealers. The bill, which died in committee in February 2025 and never became law, aimed to ensure dealers maintain updated knowledge of licensing procedures.
