Board of Mental Health and Executive Director; revise appointment of.

SB 2864 proposed changes to Mississippi's mental health governance. It revised appointment rules for the State Board of Mental Health by removing the requirement for Senate confirmation of the Executive Director and adjusting term lengths for board members. The bill also specified professional qualifications for four state-at-large board members (including a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, and social worker). These changes would directly affect the Governor's appointment process for the Board and the Executive Director position. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted.
