State Health Officer; require certain orders issued by to be approved by the Governor.

HB 1036 would require the Governor to approve any orders issued by Mississippi's State Health Officer related to disease control measures before they are made public. The bill specifically targets orders for sanitary and quarantine actions aimed at suppressing diseases and preventing their spread. This change would add a procedural step where the Governor must review and approve such orders prior to public release. The bill did not advance beyond the committee stage in the 2025 legislative session.
