MS SC571

Post-ratifies the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits poll taxes in federal elections for President, Vice President, Senators, and Representatives

Mississippi originally rejected the 24th Amendment on December 20, 1962, making this a symbolic correction of that historical vote

The 24th Amendment was already ratified nationally on January 23, 1964, after 38 states approved it, so this action has no legal effect on the Constitution

Directs the Mississippi Secretary of State to transmit copies of this resolution to the Archivist of the United States, Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Mississippi's congressional delegation

Declares that present-day Mississippi "strongly condemns the unconscionable practice of the imposition of poll taxes"
