HB 844 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Headlights; require motorist to use in adverse driving conditions due to adverse weather or other conditions.

HB 844 would have required Mississippi drivers to use headlights during adverse weather (like rain, snow, fog, or sleet) or other conditions that reduce visibility, such as when windshield wipers are needed. It prohibited using only parking lights when headlights were required and set a $25 fine for violations. The bill directly affected all drivers operating vehicles on Mississippi roads during these conditions. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
