HB 1589 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Motor vehicles; revise certain provisions regarding discharge of liens and scrapping.

This bill updates Mississippi laws to require lenders with federal identification numbers to electronically notify the Department of Revenue about lien releases within 14 days. It also mandates that scrap yards and used parts dealers must check the state's online system to confirm a vehicle has no outstanding liens before buying or scrapping it. These changes aim to streamline how vehicle titles are processed and prevent dealers from purchasing cars that still have unpaid debts attached to them.
