Including the new state flag plus a guitar as an ode to Mississippi being known as “The Birthplace of America’s Music,” Reeves believes the design captures the spirit of the Magnolia State.
“The new design does a great job capturing the special spirit of Mississippi,” he said. “I hope Mississippians in every corner of our state carry it with pride.”
Licenses with the current design will remain valid until their expiration date. Then, drivers will be issued an updated version.
