This bill increases the penalties for operating a truck, trailer, or other carrier on highways in Mississippi that is not properly covered or lacks sideboards, which are protective barriers on the sides of a vehicle to prevent cargo from falling out. Specifically, the minimum fine for such violations will rise from $25 to $200, and the maximum fine will increase from $100 to $1,000, with each instance of non-compliance considered a separate offense.
