HB 212 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Appropriation; Health Department to provide funding to federally qualified health centers.

HB 212 appropriates $25 million from Mississippi's State General Fund to the Department of Health for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027), specifically to fund federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) across the state. These community health centers, which provide primary care in underserved areas, will directly benefit from this funding. The bill establishes a clear mechanism: the State Treasurer will disburse funds via warrants upon requisitions from the Department of Health. This is a procedural funding allocation with no new policy requirements, solely directing existing state resources to support FQHC operations.
