HB 1038 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Monuments and displays; prohibit construction or removal on State Capitol grounds unless authorized by the Legislature.

HB 1038 prohibits the construction, removal, or alteration of monuments, statues, memorials, or nameplates on Mississippi's State Capitol grounds without explicit approval from the state legislature. It requires any such change to be authorized by a legislative act, applying specifically to Capitol grounds (not other public areas). The bill also updates the Archives Board's duties to align with this requirement, ensuring legislative oversight for Capitol grounds displays. This is a procedural rule focused on process, not content, and does not affect existing monuments or other public spaces.
