SB 2739 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Mental health; bring forward provisions related to commitment procedures for those with issues related to.

SB 2739 brings forward existing Mississippi Code sections (41-19-33, 41-19-43, 41-21-63, etc.) related to regional mental health commissions for potential amendment. The bill focuses on administrative procedures, requiring regional commissions to submit annual operational plans to the Department of Mental Health for approval and face a six-month probation period if they miss minimum service standards. If commissions fail to meet standards after probation, they risk losing state funding eligibility for mental health services. This procedural bill directly affects Mississippi's regional mental health commissions and community mental health providers managing state-funded services.
