Children's Advocacy Commission; create to coordinate and streamline the state's efforts to provide services to children.

HB 90 creates a 17-member Children's Advocacy Commission to coordinate Mississippi's child-related services. The commission would map all state and federal funding for children's health, safety, education, and welfare (from birth to age 18), assess program effectiveness, and recommend merging or discontinuing overlapping or inefficient services. It requires all state agencies providing child services to submit annual program lists, which the commission would compile with data from the Stennis Institute and report to the governor and legislature by December 1 each year. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
