Mississippi Youth and Family Systems Coordination Task Force; create.

HB 1111 creates the Mississippi Youth and Family Systems Coordination Task Force to coordinate juvenile justice and behavioral health services across state systems. The task force, composed of 24 members with at least half being youth or individuals with lived experience in these systems, would develop research-based strategies to improve youth outcomes and reduce recidivism without altering judicial authority. It must submit annual reports to the governor and legislature starting in 2027 and operate as an advisory body with no regulatory power. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was never enacted.
