Bill > HB962

This bill authorizes the issuance of distinctive motor vehicle license tags to supporters of Madison-Ridgeland Academy, adding it to a list of existing organizations and institutions that can have such specialized plates. To obtain one of these special plates, a vehicle owner must pay the standard road and bridge privilege taxes, ad valorem taxes, and registration fees, along with an additional $30 fee. This additional fee is collected annually and a portion of it, specifically $24 per tag, will be distributed to Madison-Ridgeland Academy as a supporter. The remaining funds from the additional fee are allocated to the Mississippi Burn Care Fund, the State Highway Fund for road maintenance, and another special fund. The bill also outlines procedures for application, renewal, and replacement of these distinctive tags, and specifies that a regular license tag must be surrendered upon issuance of the new distinctive tag. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
