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. To obtain a hardship license, the person must provide clear and convincing evidence of hardship, including a recommendation letter from the Mississippi Department of Human Services, and receive a court order granting hardship driving privileges.
