Driver's license; prohibit to non U.S. citizens.
HB 1407 would prohibit Mississippi from issuing driver's licenses or learner's permits to non-U.S. citizens. It would require non-citizen license holders to present a Certificate of Naturalization to renew their licenses. The bill directly affects non-citizen residents of Mississippi who currently hold or seek a driver's license. Key provisions amend state law to explicitly bar non-citizens from obtaining licenses and mandate naturalization documentation for renewal. The bill died in committee in 2026 and did not become law.
