Distinctive motor vehicle license tag; reauthorize for Wildlife Mississippi.
SB 2883 extends Mississippi's authorization for special vehicle license tags supporting Wildlife Mississippi. The bill allows residents to pay a $30 annual fee to receive either a standard distinctive tag or a new black-background tag with white pinstripe border, "Mississippi" at the top, and "Wildlife Mississippi" at the bottom. Wildlife Mississippi must prove it will sell at least 100 tags and deposit funds before issuance, and 80% of the $30 fee ($24) goes directly to Wildlife Mississippi, with smaller portions funding the Burn Care Fund, Highway Fund, and another special fund. This program affects vehicle owners who choose to pay the additional fee to display support for Wildlife Mississippi.
