Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; require DD-214 as proof of discharge, except for alternative retirement proof.

SB 2831 would have required Mississippi veterans discharged from active duty (not retired) to provide a copy of their DD-214 discharge paperwork when applying for military distinctive license tags. This amendment specifically targeted non-retirement discharges, replacing the previous "other proof" requirement with the mandatory DD-214 document. The change applied only to those discharged without retirement, while retired veterans would continue to use retirement orders or DD-214 as before. The bill amended Section 27-19-51 of Mississippi law but died in committee in February 2026 without becoming law.
