Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 63-35-7, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Extend The Date Of The Repealer On The Requirement That A Person Submit A Law Enforcement Interaction Plan To The Department Of Public Safety Before Operating A Fully Autonomous Vehicle On The Public Roads Of This State; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill extends the deadline for a requirement that anyone operating a fully autonomous vehicle on public roads in Mississippi must first submit a "law enforcement interaction plan" to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). This plan details how the vehicle will communicate with support specialists, how to safely remove or tow the vehicle if it breaks down, how to identify if the vehicle is in autonomous mode, and any other safety information deemed necessary by the manufacturer or DPS. The original law stated this requirement would expire, or "stand repealed," on July 1, 2026, but this bill changes that date to July 1, 2029, effectively giving companies more time to comply with these safety regulations before the law automatically expires.
