The measure passed the Senate with no objections, but it never made it out of a House committee.
Animal rights leaders said it means some animals will continue to be euthanized in what can be a long and agonizing process.
Thousands of Mississippi animals with no place to go are put down every year. Most are euthanized by injection, but some shelters use carbon monoxide gas chambers.
"Certainly, very disappointed. I think Mississippi needs to catch up with modern times," Mississippi Animal Rescue League representative Debra Boswell said.
Boswell's shelter euthanizes 11,000 animals by injection each year. She said gas chambers cause unnecessary suffering.
"It's sad enough that we have to euthanize these animals in our shelters. We feel like the least they deserve is a kind hand and a personal touch," Boswell said.
"It can take anywhere from five to seven minutes -- even up to 20 minutes and sometimes longer," Humane Society of the United States representative Lydia Sattler said.
Rep. Bill Pigott, R-Tylertown, who is the chairman of the House subcommittee that rejected the bill to ban gas chambers, said he doesn't support the use of gas chambers but didn't think a law was necessary.
"The subcommittee felt that the animal rights organizations could work with that town to improve the method of euthanasia by injection," Pigott said.
