Official state tartan; designate.
Mississippi's SB 2005 designates a specific tartan pattern as the official state tartan. The bill defines the tartan's exact color sequence (20 black, 40 green, 4 blue, etc.) and provides Pantone and hex color codes for its use. This symbolic designation allows any Mississippi-affiliated organization, society, or individual to freely use the tartan pattern. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, and does not create new regulations or affect state policy.
