Mississippi Transactional Gold and Silver Act; create.

Maddy summaryThe Mississippi Transactional Gold and Silver Act, which died in committee in 2026, proposed to recognize gold and silver as legal tender for private transactions and state/local tax payments, if both parties agree. It would create a secure depository for physical gold and silver and authorize an electronic payment system backed by physical precious metals. The bill would have exempted all transactions involving gold and silver from state sales, use, and income taxes. Implementation would have required the Department of Finance and Administration to establish these systems within one year of the law taking effect.

Surface mining and reclamation; revise provisions relating to.

Maddy summaryHB 1759 would have transferred regulatory authority for surface mining and reclamation operations from the Mississippi Department of Natural Resources to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). This change would have placed all oversight - including permit decisions, bond releases, and reclamation requirements - under the DEQ's management, with the DEQ Executive Director authorized to assign responsibilities within the department. The bill directly affected mining operators and landowners in Mississippi by shifting their regulatory oversight to the DEQ. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
