Civil Rights Memorial Day; designate the last Monday of April as.
HB 1007 proposes designating the last Monday of April as "Civil Rights Memorial Day" in Mississippi state law, to be observed alongside the existing "Confederate Memorial Day" on that date. This bill would amend Mississippi Code Section 3-3-7 to include this holiday designation, affecting state government operations and public school observances on that day. The change would not create a new legal holiday but rather add a specific commemorative name to an existing date. The bill died in committee and did not become law.
