HB8

Mississippi HB8 authorizes hardship licenses for those whose licenses are suspended for non-compliance with support orders.

Mississippi HB8 amends state law to allow the issuance of hardship driver's licenses to individuals whose licenses have been suspended due to non-compliance with child or spousal support orders. The bill requires these individuals to demonstrate hardship to qualify for such a license, which will only permit driving to and from work and for essential needs. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety will establish the design for these hardship licenses to differentiate them from regular licenses.
