Mississippi History and United States Government; require to be included in curriculum for all students in Grades 9-12.

HB 148 would have required all Mississippi public, private, parochial, and homeschool students in grades 9-12 to take a comprehensive course on Mississippi History (covering 19th-20th century political/social issues) and United States Government. It would have replaced the existing U.S. History end-of-course test with these new courses, discontinuing the test starting the 2026-2027 school year. The bill also amended education codes to mandate these courses and align curriculum standards. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
