HB676

Mississippi HB676 requires vehicle owners to provide proof of motor vehicle insurance when registering or renewing vehicle registration.

Mississippi HB676 mandates that every owner of a motor vehicle must comply with motor vehicle liability insurance coverage requirements before receiving a registration or renewal. The Department of Public Safety must administer a motor vehicle insurance verification system to check compliance. The system must be accessible 24/7, interface with existing department systems, and be secure against unauthorized access. Insurers must provide policy status and information to verify coverage. The act reenacts Section 63-16-9, Mississippi Code of 1972, which was repealed in 2015.
