Bill > HB419

This bill appropriates $4 million from the State General Fund to the Mississippi State Department of Health for the purpose of making care grants through the Mississippi Qualified Health Center Grant Program for fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026). The bill specifies that the State Treasurer will disburse these funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer, which will be processed upon proper requisition signatures as required by law. The appropriation is intended to support qualified health centers, which are typically community-based healthcare facilities that provide comprehensive primary care services to underserved populations, regardless of patients' ability to pay. The funding is designed to help these centers continue providing essential healthcare services across the state. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, marking the start of the specified fiscal year.
