MS HB328

Authorizes the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) Board of Trustees to approve exemptions to standard repair, renovation, and demolition requirements for state-owned properties more than 20 years old

Requires that when original construction materials are unavailable, repairs must use modern materials replicating the authentic style, color, durability, and texture of original materials while maintaining exterior architectural integrity

Establishes additional requirements for properties with dual designation as Mississippi Landmarks and National Historic Landmarks, including compliance with Secretary of the Interior's Standards and written approval from MDAH and the National Park Service

Mandates submission of detailed preservation plans assessing project impacts on historical and architectural features for dual-designated properties before work can proceed

Permits demolition of state-owned properties if the MDAH board determines it is more economically feasible and provides greater benefit to the local community and state's long-term plans
