SB2052

Mississippi SB2052 designates U.S. Presidential Election Day and General State Election Day as legal holidays in Mississippi.

Mississippi SB2052 amends the Mississippi Code to designate the days of the U.S. Presidential Election and General State Election as legal holidays in the state. These holidays will be observed starting in 2028 and 2027, respectively, and every fourth year thereafter. The bill also designates specific days for other observances, such as Hernando de Soto Day and Elvis Aaron Presley Day, though these are not legal holidays. Local governing authorities can declare Mardi Gras Day or another day as a legal holiday, excluding certain federal holidays. The act takes effect from July 1, 2026.
