A statewide independent business group, the Business and Industry Political Education Committee (BIPEC), has included car dealer legislation (HB 401) in their 2023 legislator scorecard.

BIPEC was founded by Mississippi’s business and professional leaders to supply needed political research information. The organization’s annual performance evaluation is a measuring stick used to determine each legislator’s business philosophy, attitude and effectiveness in supporting the growth/enhancement of jobs in Mississippi.

HB 401 helps Mississippi consumers that rely on automobile dealerships for their essential transportation needs. It also assures fair and equal rules for Mississippi dealers that contract with automotive manufacturers for dealerships.

The franchised automobile industry in Mississippi creates over 18,000 jobs with a $613 million payroll.
