This bill amends Mississippi law to require drivers to surrender their physical driver's license for inspection by law enforcement officers upon demand. Drivers must place their license in the custody of the officer for inspection. If a driver only has an electronic copy of their license, they must display it on a mobile device but are not required to surrender the device. The bill also outlines penalties for failing to comply with such a demand, including fines and imprisonment. The act takes effect from July 1, 2026.
