Confederate flag; direct removal of depiction from Capitol rotunda, and create commission to recommend replacement image.
SB 2566 would require the removal of the Confederate flag depiction from Mississippi's State Capitol rotunda and establish a 7-member commission to recommend a replacement image. The commission, appointed by state leaders, must submit its recommendation to the Governor and Legislature by September 30, 2025, and may consider historical alternatives like depictions of enslaved people who built the Capitol. The bill also amends a law protecting historical monuments to allow this removal. However, the bill "died in committee" on February 4, 2025, and did not advance further.
