MS SB2228

Reenacts sections 55-15-51 through 55-15-62 establishing the Mississippi Veterans Monument Commission to design, construct, and maintain monuments honoring Mississippi veterans.

Extends the repeal date of the commission from July 1, 2015 to July 1, 2016.

Authorizes the commission to use trust fund monies for designing, constructing, dedicating and maintaining three monuments: a general Mississippi veterans monument, a Confederate memorial at Shiloh National Military Park (with up to $250,000 state match), and a Congressional Medal of Honor recipients monument.

Limits annual administrative costs to $7,500 and requires the commission to report progress to the Legislature by November 15 each year.

Establishes that upon monument completion, remaining trust fund money transfers to the Mississippi War Veterans Memorial Commission for monument maintenance.
