Coat of arms of Mississippi

History

The Coat of Arms of Mississippi has been in use since 2001. Even though the design was made official by the 1894 Mississippi Legislature, the law was not included in the Mississippi Code Revision in 1906. In May of 2000 the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that the state of Mississippi did not have an official Coat of Arms. On February 7, 2001 Mississippi Governor Ronnie Musgrove signed Senate Bill No. 2885 that designated the original design described above as the official Mississippi Coat of Arms.
