Government Efficiency; create task force to provide recommendations on.
SB 2272 established the "Mississippi Health and Welfare Efficiency Task Force" to examine and streamline state agencies providing health and welfare services (like Medicaid, human services, and child protective services). The task force was required to identify duplicate processes slowing service delivery for Mississippians and develop recommendations for the legislature to improve government efficiency by October 2025. It included agency directors, legislative leaders, and the Attorney General as members. The bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, and did not become law.
