"Mississippi Veterans Mental Health and Addiction Therapy Quality of Care Act of 2026"; enact.

SB 2667, the "Mississippi Veterans Mental Health and Addiction Therapy Quality of Care Act of 2026," creates a 24/7 Mississippi Veterans Suicide Prevention Lifeline hotline staffed by trained veterans to provide crisis intervention and connect veterans with mental health resources. It requires the State Veterans Affairs Board to develop and publicly share an implementation plan by December 2026, including performance metrics and evidence-based practices for the hotline. The bill also prohibits unaccredited representatives from assisting veterans with VA claims or advertising such services, imposing penalties for violations and requiring a public registry of accredited representatives. Additionally, it directs funds from federal TANF block grants to support marriage counseling for military and first responder families through nonprofit organizations.
