National Statuary Hall Selection Commission; create for recommending two new Mississippi statues at U.S. Capitol.

SB 2573 creates a 9-member commission to recommend two historic figures for new statues representing Mississippi in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall Collection. The commission, appointed by state leadership (3 by Lt. Governor, 3 by House Speaker, 3 by Governor), must select figures who "bring honor to all Mississippians" and reflect the state's demographics, with recommendations due by November 30, 2026. This procedural bill does not alter existing statues (Mississippi currently has Jefferson Davis and James Zachariah George on display) but establishes a process for selecting new representatives. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was never enacted.
