Bill > HB512

This bill appropriates $2,000,000 from the State General Fund to the Mississippi State Department of Health for establishing and supporting a graduate medical education residency program at Delta Regional Medical Center in Greenville, Mississippi, for the fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026). The funding is specifically authorized under Section 41-123-7 of the Mississippi Code, which likely governs medical education support programs. The State Treasurer will disburse the funds through warrants issued by the State Fiscal Officer upon proper requisition, following standard state financial procedures. The bill aims to support medical education by providing financial resources to develop a residency program, which can help address healthcare workforce needs in the Delta region by training new medical professionals. The appropriation will take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing the medical center to plan and implement the residency program for the upcoming fiscal year.
