SB 2294 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibition on alteration or removal of historical monuments; clarify.

Mississippi's SB 2294 prohibits the alteration, removal, renaming, or rededication of historical monuments and memorials on public property related to specific conflicts (Revolutionary War through the Iraq War), the Civil Rights era, or named after military figures/events. It directly affects state and local public spaces like parks, streets, and buildings bearing such monuments. The bill allows any individual to sue in state court to enforce the law, with the winning party entitled to recover legal fees. The law applies to all covered monuments already in place as of its effective date (July 1, 2025), excluding transportation infrastructure managed by the Mississippi Transportation Commission.
