Mississippi HB349 removes the requirement for chancery clerks to provide specific records to the Department of Mental Health each quarter.

Mississippi HB349 amends Section 41-21-77 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to eliminate the mandate for chancery clerks to furnish records related to court-ordered admissions to treatment facilities and denials for admission to community mental health center crisis stabilization beds to the Department of Mental Health on a quarterly basis. This change affects the reporting requirements for chancery clerks and the Department of Mental Health, potentially impacting the flow of information regarding mental health admissions and denials.
