SB 2547 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

CON; organize various provisions of into separate code sections.

SB 2547 is a procedural bill that reorganizes Mississippi's existing healthcare certificate of need law by splitting Section 41-7-191 into nine new, separate code sections (41-7-191.1 through 41-7-191.9). It does not change any substantive requirements for healthcare facilities - such as needing approval for new construction, bed count changes, or specific services like open-heart surgery - but instead clarifies the law's structure. The bill directly affects healthcare providers and facilities operating under Mississippi's certificate of need regulations. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.
