Bill > HB133

This bill proposes to completely repeal sections 43-12-1 through 43-12-47 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, which collectively constitute the Medicaid and Human Services Transparency and Fraud Prevention Act. By eliminating these entire sections of law, the bill would remove all existing provisions related to transparency and fraud prevention in Medicaid and human services programs in Mississippi. The repeal is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025, which provides a significant lead time before the law is fully eliminated. While the bill's text does not provide detailed rationale for the repeal, it suggests a potential legislative decision to modify or eliminate current oversight mechanisms for Medicaid and human services programs in the state. The implications of this repeal could be significant for program monitoring, accountability, and potential fraud detection, though without additional context, the full impact cannot be definitively assessed.
