Bill Summary

An Act To Amend Section 7-3-7, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Provide That The Official Seal Used By The Secretary Of State Shall Contain The Words "in God We Trust" At The Bottom Of The Seal; And For Related Purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law in Mississippi to change the official seal used by the Secretary of State. The key changes are that the phrase "In God We Trust" will be added at the bottom of the seal, replacing the previous "Official" text. The bill also provides a transition period, allowing the existing seal to be used until the current supplies are depleted or the seal is naturally replaced. The bill will take effect upon passage.
