AI Summary
This bill requires county boards of supervisors in Mississippi to provide adequate and habitable office space for local offices of the Department of Child Protection Services (DCPS), which is the state agency responsible for child welfare services. This means that if a DCPS local office is located in a county, the county's board of supervisors must ensure the office is suitable and livable for its staff and the children and families it serves. The bill also clarifies that the DCPS can enter into lease agreements with counties to utilize federal funds for rent, with the department covering the federal share and the county responsible for the remaining costs of utilities, internet, and janitorial services, as well as all maintenance and repairs.
