MDAH; exempt certain repairs to state property.
HB 328 authorizes Mississippi's Department of Archives and History (MDAH) to approve exemptions from standard repair and renovation requirements for state-owned properties over 20 years old with historical, cultural, or architectural significance. It requires repairs to maintain original architectural integrity using replica materials if original materials are unavailable, and mandates written MDAH approval for properties designated as both Mississippi Landmarks and National Historic Landmarks. The bill also establishes additional rules for these dual-designation properties, including compliance with federal preservation standards and submission of detailed preservation plans. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
