Department of Archives and History; revise board of trustees of.

HB 1331 would restructure the nine-member board governing Mississippi's Department of Archives and History, effective July 1, 2025. It specifies that eight board members must be appointed from the state's four congressional districts (two from each district as they existed on that date), plus one at-large member appointed by the Governor with Senate approval. The bill establishes staggered initial terms for the reconstituted board and requires all future appointments to serve six-year terms, while current board members would serve one-year terms upon the effective date.
