Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act; create.

HB 1129, the "Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act," requires Mississippi state agencies to replace the term "West Bank" with "Judea and Samaria" in all official government materials, including documents, communications, and press releases. The bill defines "state agency" broadly to cover all departments, boards, and commissions, and prohibits using state funds to create materials referring to the territory as the "West Bank." Agencies may request limited waivers from this rule with written justification submitted to the Legislature or Governor, but such waivers are not automatic. The law would take effect July 1, 2026, if enacted.
