Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; authorize issuance to supporters of United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.

HB 1227 would allow Mississippi residents who support the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary to obtain a special license tag for their vehicles. Owners would pay a $30 annual fee (in addition to regular registration costs), with $24 of that fee going directly to the Coast Guard Auxiliary, $1 to the Mississippi Burn Care Fund, $2 to the State Highway Fund, and $1 to another state fund. The bill specifies that these tags would be issued by county tax collectors following a standard application process, and the regular license tag must be surrendered upon receiving the distinctive tag. This is part of a broader program authorizing similar tags for various organizations, but HB 1227 specifically adds the Coast Guard Auxiliary to the list. The bill died in committee in February 2026.
