CDLs; treat certain moving violations as regular license holders.
SB 2335 changes how certain moving violations against commercial driver's license (CDL) holders are handled in Mississippi. It specifies that if a CDL holder is driving a vehicle not requiring a CDL (like a regular car) or if a traffic ticket doesn't note the violation under CDL law, the offense will be treated as if committed by a regular driver, applying standard license penalties instead of CDL-specific penalties. This does not apply to violations under Chapter 11 of Title 63 (which covers CDL-specific offenses). The law takes effect July 1, 2026. It directly affects CDL holders who commit traffic violations while driving non-commercial vehicles or with unmarked tickets.
