AI Summary
This bill authorizes the issuance of a hardship driver's license to a person whose license has been suspended for being out of compliance with a child support order. The person must petition the chancery court and provide evidence of hardship, such as a letter from the Mississippi Department of Human Services, to demonstrate that the suspension would hinder their ability to continue employment. The hardship license would allow the person to drive only to work and religious services, and it would be visually distinct from a regular driver's license. The bill also establishes regulations for the Department of Human Services and Department of Public Safety to implement this new hardship license program.
