Requires local office space for Child Protection Services to be adequate and habitable.
Mississippi HB572 amends the Mississippi Code to mandate that local office spaces for the Department of Child Protection Services, provided by county boards of supervisors, must be adequate and habitable. The bill specifies that these local offices will administer child welfare services, excluding those funded by federal sources. Counties will provide the office space, and the Department of Child Protection Services will pay rent to the county at fair market value. Other operational expenses will be shared between the department and the county. This act is set to take effect from July 1, 2026.
