Patriot's Day; designate September 11th of each year as.
This bill proposes designating September 11 as "Patriot's Day" in Mississippi to honor the 2,977 people killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It would make September 11 a day of remembrance and observation, not a legal holiday (similar to other designated days like Elvis Day in the code). The bill does not change existing legal holidays or create new paid time off for state employees or businesses. The legislation died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
