National Statuary Hall Selection Commission; create for recommending two new Mississippi statues at U.S. Capitol.
SB 2376 creates a 9-member commission to recommend two new Mississippi historical figures for placement in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall Collection, replacing the current statues of Jefferson Davis and James Zachariah George (1931). The commission must select figures who "bring honor to all Mississippians" and reflect the state's current demographics, with recommendations due to the governor and legislature by November 30, 2025. The bill specifies commission membership (appointed by legislative leaders and the governor) and requires public input, but the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not advance. This is a procedural bill focused on selecting statues, not a policy change.
