MS HB1075

Brings forward existing Mississippi Code sections 77-8-1 through 77-8-39 regulating transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft for possible amendment without making substantive changes

TNCs must obtain a state license from the Department of Insurance and pay an annual fee of $5,000 to operate in Mississippi

Drivers must maintain primary automobile insurance with minimum coverage of $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 when logged into the app but not on a ride, and $1,000,000 combined coverage while engaged in a prearranged ride

TNCs must conduct criminal background checks and driving history reviews on all drivers, prohibiting those with felony convictions within 7 years, sex offender registry matches, or multiple moving violations

Local governments are preempted from imposing taxes, licenses, or operational requirements on TNCs, though airports may adopt reasonable regulations for their property
