Indigenous Native American Day; declare the second Monday in October as.

HB 1018 would amend Mississippi law to establish the second Monday in October as "Indigenous Native American Day," adding it as a legal holiday requiring state government offices to close. This bill directly affects Mississippi residents and state operations by creating a new paid holiday, replacing the current "Confederate Memorial Day" designation in the holiday schedule. The key provision formally adds this day to Section 3-3-7 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, which lists official state holidays. Note: The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and has not become law.
