Bill > SB2351

This bill, titled "Adoption licensure board; bring forward code sections related to creation thereof," proposes to re-enact and make available for amendment several existing Mississippi Code sections that govern various licensing and regulatory matters. Specifically, it brings forward provisions related to the licensing of family foster homes, child-caring agencies (entities providing residential care for children), and child-placing agencies (entities that place children in foster or adoptive homes), all of which are overseen by the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services (DCPS). The bill also re-enacts a section that allows the Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks to revoke licenses, and provisions that authorize the suspension of state-issued licenses, permits, or registrations for individuals who are not complying with child support orders. The purpose of bringing these sections forward is to allow for potential future amendments to these laws.
