Food deserts; require State Department of Health to track in Mississippi.

HB 892 requires Mississippi's State Department of Health to annually track and report on food deserts - defined as areas with at least 20% poverty where over one-third of residents live more than a mile from a grocery store or healthy food provider - and identify associated health issues. The department must submit this report to the legislature by December 31 each year, using existing federal data if available. This bill directly affects the State Department of Health (as the reporting entity) and informs legislative decisions about food access challenges. It does not create new programs but mandates systematic data collection to address gaps in healthy food availability for Mississippi residents in affected communities.
