Department of Human Services; allow agency discretion for establishing or using certain federal reporting systems.

SB 2679 would have allowed Mississippi's Department of Human Services (DHS) to combine federal reporting systems used for the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) without needing prior legislative approval. The bill required DHS to annually report to state legislative committees by September 1, detailing the rationale, effectiveness, and specific impacts on SNAP enrollment and DHS's error rate (as tracked by the USDA). This change would have directly affected DHS operations and SNAP program administration in Mississippi. However, the bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, and did not become law.
