Driver's license; require re-examination of persons age 55 and older if license has been expired more than five years.
HB 1081 would require Mississippi drivers aged 55 and older to retake the driving test if their license has been expired for more than five years. Currently, most drivers can renew an expired license within five years without a test, but this bill adds a test requirement for the 55+ group beyond that period. The goal is to ensure these drivers still understand safe driving practices before renewing their license. The bill was introduced in the 2026 legislative session but died in committee in February 2026.
