AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Mississippi Division of Medicaid to extend certain contracts that were in effect on June 30, 2020, for up to two years without complying with state procurement regulations. The bill amends the state's Medicaid law to provide the Division of Medicaid with this flexibility for extending existing contracts, which would normally be subject to competitive bidding requirements. This is intended to allow the Division to maintain continuity of Medicaid services and operations during this period without the need to go through a full procurement process.
