Bill > HB1210

This bill increases various assessments and fees to fund the Mississippi Trauma Care System. Specifically, the bill raises the assessment collected from traffic violations from $20 to $25 for standard violations and from $45 to $50 for Implied Consent Law violations. The fee on license tags and decals will increase from $4 to $9 per set, and the point-of-sale fee on all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles will increase from $50 to $60. These changes will generate additional revenue for the Mississippi Trauma Care Systems Fund, which supports trauma care administration, regional trauma care services, public education, and hospital and physician indigent trauma care block grants. The bill also modifies the allocation of funds from various court assessments, reducing contributions to many specialized funds and redirecting more money to the State General Fund. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing a mechanism to increase financial support for the state's trauma care system by capturing additional funds from traffic violations, vehicle sales, and license tag fees.
