SB 2073 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicle liability insurance; increase and make nonwaivable the fine for operating a vehicle without.

SB 2073 increases the fine for operating a vehicle without mandatory liability insurance to $500 and prohibits judges from waiving this fine. It requires drivers to provide proof of insurance and pay all fines before their licenses can be reinstated. The bill establishes a special "Uninsured Motorist Identification Fund" to cover costs for an insurance verification system, with excess funds split between a Highway Patrol Trooper School fund and Mississippi Trauma Care Systems. This directly affects all drivers in Mississippi who operate vehicles without required insurance.
