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 proof of hardship, such as a recommendation letter from the Mississippi Department of Human Services. The hardship license will look different from a regular driver's license and cannot be used to operate a commercial vehicle. The bill also establishes a $25 fee for the hardship license and sets the term of the license at 4 years. The bill makes conforming changes to existing laws related to driver's licenses and child support enforcement.
