SB 2062 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Consumer Freedom of Choice Act; amend to include motor vehicles, tools and farm equipment.

SB 2062, the Consumer Freedom of Choice Act, prohibits Mississippi local governments from banning or restricting the use of motor vehicles, tools (like generators and lawn mowers), and farm equipment (such as tractors and combines) based on their fuel source (e.g., gasoline, electric). It directly affects consumers, farmers, and businesses that rely on these items by preventing fuel-based restrictions in local regulations. The bill allows governments to enforce safety rules, illegal use prohibitions, and utility provider requirements, but not to deny permits or impose restrictions solely due to fuel type. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.
