MS HB460

Amends Section 27-77-9 of the Mississippi Code to clarify that the 30-day period for filing a written request for a hearing on permit, tag, or title suspension/revocation begins from the date the Department of Revenue mailed or delivered the notice of intent.

Establishes that if no timely hearing request is filed within 30 days, the intended action automatically becomes effective on the 31st day without further agency action.

Adds new subsection (8) specifying that filings with the board of review or Board of Tax Appeals are timely if hand-delivered during office hours, postmarked/shipped by the due date, or electronically transmitted by midnight of the due date; extends the due date to the next business day if the deadline falls on a weekend or state holiday.

Provides that the amendments do not affect any notices of intent or appeals issued before the effective date; prior law continues to apply to those cases.

Takes effect July 1, 2016.
