HB 533 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Confederate flag; remove depictions of from the rotunda of the Mississippi State Capitol building.

HB 533 requires the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to remove all depictions of the Confederate flag from the rotunda of the Mississippi State Capitol building by July 1, 2025. The bill amends a law that previously prohibited moving or altering historical items on public property, explicitly allowing this removal. It directly affects the state agency responsible for Capitol maintenance, not the public or other historical displays. The key provision is the amendment to Section 55-15-81, which now permits the removal of this specific flag depiction without requiring additional legislative authorization.
