Bill > HB814

This bill authorizes the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) to increase certain fees related to public health services for a period of three fiscal years, from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. Specifically, the MSDH can increase fees for food establishment annual permits, private water supply approvals, and onsite wastewater program services, with the total increase for each fee not to exceed thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the current fee. These increases require an annual recommendation from the relevant advisory board and are intended to update fees that were previously set or last increased in 2020 or earlier. The bill also updates the specific fee amounts for these services, such as food establishment permits which are now categorized with new dollar amounts, and fees for soil and site evaluations, installer certifications, and manufacturer registrations within the onsite wastewater program.
