Driver's license display; revise meaning of.
HB 1388 would change Mississippi law to require drivers to physically hand their driver's license to law enforcement officers upon demand during a traffic stop, rather than simply displaying it. This bill directly affects all Mississippi drivers who operate motor vehicles. The key provision amends Section 63-1-41 of the Mississippi Code to specify that licenses must be "displayed by handing the license to the law enforcement officer." The bill died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
