HB 1533 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; reauthorize issuance to supporters of Kossuth High School.

HB 1533 would have allowed Mississippi vehicle owners to pay a $30 annual fee for a special license tag supporting Kossuth High School, with funds distributed as follows: $24 to the school, $1 to the Mississippi Burn Care Fund, $2 to highway maintenance, and $1 to another state fund. It required the tag to be displayed alongside a regular license plate and mandated surrender of the regular tag upon issuance. The bill, which died in committee in February 2026, would have taken effect July 1, 2026, and applied only to residents registering vehicles in the state. This is a funding mechanism for a school-specific license tag program, not a substantive policy change.
