National Statuary Hall Selection Commission; create for recommending two new Mississippi statues at U.S. Capitol.
SB 2001 creates a commission to recommend two new historical figures for Mississippi's representation in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall Collection, which currently features statues of Jefferson Davis and James Zachariah George. The nine-member commission, appointed by state leaders (including the Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, and Governor), must select figures who honor all Mississippians and reflect the state's demographics, with recommendations due by November 30, 2025. The commission will hold public meetings, accept written input, and document its process. The bill establishes a procedural framework for potential future representation but does not change existing statues or require immediate action.
