Child Protection Services; require provision of adequate and habitable office space for local offices of.

SB 2458 requires Mississippi county boards of supervisors to provide adequate and habitable office space for local Child Protection Services (CPS) offices in their counties. The bill establishes a lease agreement where CPS pays the federal share of rent (based on fair market value), while counties cover maintenance, repairs, and utility costs like electricity and janitorial services. County boards must ensure the space meets basic habitability standards, and CPS cannot use federal funds for property improvements. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, directly affecting county governments and CPS operations across Mississippi.
