MADA WINS MAJOR LEGISLATIVE BATTLE AT THE CAPITOL What has been called the most important legislation ever championed at the Mississippi Capitol by MADA was accomplished when Governor Tate Reeves signed HB 401 into law on March 14, 2023. The new law will go into effect on July 1, 2023. Although MADA has worked on franchise laws for years, this one was different. In the past, there has not been much public interest in franchise law legislation at the Capitol because it was centered around issues specific to manufacturers and automobile dealerships. But because our law involved electric vehicle companies that hired lobbyists to oppose HB 401, this turned out to be a real fight under the dome. 8
