Voluntary statewide bleeding control program; authorize Health Dept to establish.
HB 1550 proposes a voluntary statewide program to place bleeding control kits (including tourniquets and wound care supplies) in public buildings, schools, and high-traffic locations across Mississippi. It encourages state agencies, schools, and local governments to offer free evidence-based "Stop the Bleed" training to staff and the public, while providing legal immunity for good-faith emergency aid using these kits. The bill explicitly states no state funds are required, relying instead on federal grants, private donations, or existing resources. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was never enacted.
