SB 2690 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Health Care Expendable Fund; delete repealer on.

This bill deletes a repealer provision in Mississippi's Health Care Expendable Fund statute, ensuring existing transfer rules remain in effect. It maintains the current process for moving tobacco settlement funds from the Health Care Trust Fund to the Expendable Fund, including specific annual transfers for fiscal years 2005-2015 and ongoing income-based funding. The change directly affects how the state manages and allocates tobacco settlement revenue for healthcare purposes. By removing the repealer, the bill preserves the established funding mechanism without altering the amounts or timing of transfers.
