AI Summary
This bill establishes the Mississippi Medicaid Commission to administer the state's Medicaid program, replacing the existing Division of Medicaid. The Commission will consist of seven members appointed by the Governor and Lieutenant Governor, with specific qualifications to ensure independence from healthcare providers and elected officials. The bill also abolishes the Division of Medicaid, transferring its powers, duties, property, and employees to the new Commission, effective July 1, 2026. Numerous sections of Mississippi Code are amended to reflect this change, ensuring that all references to the Division of Medicaid now refer to the Mississippi Medicaid Commission. The bill outlines the structure, appointment process, and responsibilities of the new Commission, including the appointment of an Executive Director, and conforms existing laws to this new administrative structure.
