HB 991 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Used motor vehicle parts dealers and scrap metal processors; authorize use of a third-party registration system.

HB 991 allows used motor vehicle parts dealers and scrap metal processors to use a third-party registration system approved by the state instead of the Mississippi Department of Revenue's automated statewide vehicle registration system. This change applies specifically to businesses needing to comply with Section 63-21-39(1)(a) regarding registration requirements. The bill does not create new obligations but offers an alternative compliance method, requiring third-party systems to meet department standards. It takes effect July 1, 2026, and directly affects these two business types in Mississippi.
