Mississippi’s New Driver License Rules | Jackson News

Mississippi’s driver’s license rules just got a major overhaul—new law mandates 30 hours of classroom training and 6 hours of supervised driving for everyone getting their first license, starting in phases. Teens 15-17 seeking hardship licenses can now skip the DMV and go straight to certified academies. Full rollout hits 2027, including for adults—yes, even 50-year-olds. The state is also pushing to embed this training in high schools this fall. Advocates say it’s a lifesaving step toward safer roads.
