Independent auto dealers; require continuing education for annual license renewal.
SB 2839 requires used motor vehicle dealers in Mississippi to complete six hours of continuing education annually through the Mississippi Independent Auto Dealers Association to renew their licenses. At least one hour must cover titling and tags, and at least three hours must be in-person training. The law applies to all used auto dealers except salvage vehicle sellers, manufactured home dealers, and franchised new car dealers. It aims to ensure dealers maintain current knowledge of licensing procedures and business practices. The bill was introduced but died in committee in 2026, so it never took effect.
