Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; authorize for supporters of various organizations.
This bill authorizes the Mississippi Department of Revenue to issue special license tags featuring the phrase "In God We Trust" for a fee of $30 per vehicle. The revenue generated from these tags is distributed among specific organizations, including the American Family Association, the Mississippi Burn Care Fund, and the State Highway Fund. Additionally, the legislation reauthorizes and expands the issuance of distinctive tags to supporters of various local schools, foundations, and interest groups such as the Mississippi Hunting Dog Association and the New Orleans Pelicans. Vehicle owners must pay an extra fee annually to retain these tags, with proceeds going directly to the designated recipients rather than general state revenue.
