HB 762 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

DUI; revise license suspension for test refusal if licensee pleads guilty.

HB 762 amends Mississippi law to change how license suspensions for refusing a chemical test during a DUI stop are handled. Currently, if a driver refuses a test and later pleads guilty to DUI, the license suspension is terminated. This bill would prevent that termination, requiring drivers to serve the full suspension period (90 days for a first offense, one year for a repeat) regardless of a guilty plea. The bill directly affects drivers who refuse a test and are convicted of DUI.
