Mississippi Anti-Hunger and Anti-Food Insecurity Task Force; create to study hunger and food insecurity in MS.

SB 2581 would have created a 17-member Mississippi Anti-Hunger and Anti-Food Insecurity Task Force to study hunger and food insecurity across the state, with a focus on rural and underserved communities. The task force - comprising legislators, health officials, nonprofit leaders, university representatives, and community advocates - was required to examine causes, assess federal nutrition programs, hold public meetings, and develop policy recommendations. It would have submitted two reports to the legislature by January 2027 and January 2028, after which the task force would dissolve. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law. This was a procedural study measure, not a direct policy change.
