Motor vehicles; require proof of liability insurance before license tag or decal may be issued or renewed.

SB 2829 requires Mississippi vehicle owners to provide proof of liability insurance before receiving or renewing license tags or decals. This applies to all drivers seeking to register or renew vehicle registration in the state. The bill amends existing law to mandate that proof of insurance must be presented to the tax collector or state department before any tag or decal is issued. The requirement would have taken effect on July 1, 2026, but the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and is not currently law.
