Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 63-35-7, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Extend The Date Of The Repealer On The Provision Of Law Requiring The Operator Of A Fully Autonomous Vehicle To Submit A Law Enforcement Interaction Plan To The Department Of Public Safety; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill extends the deadline for a law requiring operators of fully autonomous vehicles (vehicles that can drive themselves without a human driver) to submit a "law enforcement interaction plan" to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety (DPS). This plan must detail how the vehicle will communicate with support specialists, how to safely remove or tow the vehicle if it breaks down, how law enforcement can identify if the vehicle is in autonomous mode, and any other necessary safety information. The original law stated this requirement would expire, or "stand repealed," on July 1, 2026, but this bill changes that repeal date to July 1, 2029, giving operators more time to comply with these safety regulations.
