CON; Health Department shall issue for beds in a community living program for developmentally disabled adults in Madison County.

HB 621 would have required Mississippi's State Department of Health to issue a certificate of need for a specific nonprofit corporation in Madison County to construct, expand, or convert beds in a community living program for developmentally disabled adults at an ICF-IID facility. This bill directly affected that nonprofit organization by creating an exception to standard certificate of need rules for its project. The key mechanism was amending existing law to mandate the Health Department issue the certificate without requiring a standard review process. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
