Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; reauthorize issuance to supporters of Ronald McDonald House of Charities of Mississippi, Inc.

HB 686 would have allowed Mississippi residents to purchase special license tags supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mississippi, Inc., for a $30 annual fee. Owners paying this fee would receive distinctive tags (with color/design specified by the Department of Revenue and the charity), while the fee would be distributed as follows: $24 to the charity, $1 to the Mississippi Burn Care Fund, $2 to highway maintenance, and $1 to a special fund. The bill, which died in committee in February 2026, aimed to reauthorize this program for vehicles registered in the owner's name. It did not change existing vehicle registration requirements but created a new revenue stream for specific causes through license tag sales.
