Mississippi Motor Vehicle Commission Law; bring forward certain sections of.
HB 1451 reorganizes two existing sections (63-17-75 and 63-17-109) of Mississippi's Motor Vehicle Commission Law to facilitate potential future amendments. It covers licensing requirements for motor vehicle dealers (new, used, wholesale), including application procedures, $25,000-$100,000 surety bonds, mandatory liability insurance, and restrictions preventing manufacturers from owning dealerships selling their vehicles. The bill maintains current rules on dealer qualifications, business integrity, and facility requirements. As a procedural reorganization, it does not change existing law but prepares these sections for possible future legislative action.
