Prohibition on alteration or removal of historical monuments; clarify.
SB 2295 prohibits the alteration, removal, renaming, or rededication of historical monuments, memorials, schools, streets, or other public items on state or local government property that honor military conflicts (like the Civil War, World War II, or Civil Rights era) or military figures. It creates a legal pathway for individuals to sue in state court to enforce this ban, with the winning party entitled to recover attorney fees. The law excludes monuments on property managed by the Mississippi Transportation Commission for infrastructure projects and applies to all protected items existing as of its effective date on July 1, 2025.
