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

SB 2857 would have required all vehicle owners in Mississippi to provide proof of liability insurance before receiving or renewing a vehicle license tag or decal. This directly affects every resident and business owner who registers or renews a vehicle in the state. The bill’s key mechanism adds a mandatory insurance verification step to the existing tag issuance process, amending state law to require this proof before any tag can be issued or renewed. It does not change insurance coverage requirements but enforces verification at the point of registration.
