Mississippi Department of Emergency Management; establish.

SB 2580 would have established the Mississippi Department of Emergency Management within the state's executive branch to consolidate all emergency management functions under one agency. It would have transferred existing units like the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and Emergency Communications Authority into this new department, led by a Governor-appointed Executive Director. The bill aimed to streamline coordination of emergency preparedness, response, and recovery efforts across state agencies. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
