HB 406 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Driver's license; authorize issuance of hardship license for those suspended due to noncompliance with an order of support.

HB 406 creates a hardship driver's license for Mississippi residents whose regular license was suspended due to unpaid child support. To qualify, applicants must prove hardship (like job loss) through court review and provide documentation, including a recommendation from the Mississippi Department of Human Services. The license costs $25, is valid for four years, and restricts driving only to work or religious services - no commercial vehicles allowed. It also requires the license to look distinct from a standard license and updates fee structures for hardship licenses in state law.
