HB 1083 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Health Care Expendable Fund; extend repealer on.

HB 1083 extends the duration of funding mechanisms for Mississippi's Health Care Expendable Fund, which uses tobacco settlement payments to finance health care programs. The bill removes a repealer clause that would have automatically ended these funding rules after a set date, ensuring continued transfers from tobacco settlement funds and the Health Care Trust Fund to the Expendable Fund. This directly affects how state health care funding is managed, as the fund supports Medicaid and other health services through dedicated tobacco revenue. The bill does not change the fund's purpose or allocation rules but prevents their expiration, maintaining current funding streams for health care programs.
