Mississippi Helping Ensure Alternative Law Enforcement Transportation for Healing (MissHEALTH) Pilot Program; establish for mental health crisis situations.
HB 345 establishes the MissHEALTH Pilot Program to provide financial grants to Mississippi law enforcement agencies for transporting individuals experiencing mental health crises to hospitals or treatment facilities. The program requires participating agencies to contribute a 25% funding match, limits the pilot to three agencies over one year, and mandates joint administration by the Departments of Mental Health, Finance and Administration, and Medicaid. The bill also outlines specific protocols for crisis evaluations, transportation, and hospital coordination, but the measure "died in committee" on February 3, 2026, after being referred to committees.
