Community hospital boards of trustees; bring forward section with powers of.

HB 1379 is a procedural bill that brings forward Section 41-13-35 of the Mississippi Code (which details the powers of community hospital boards of trustees) to a more accessible location in the code for potential future amendment. It does not alter the existing powers or responsibilities outlined in the section, such as appointing administrators, establishing employee benefits, or managing hospital operations. This bill directly affects community hospital boards of trustees across Mississippi by reorganizing the code without changing current governance rules. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and contains no new policy provisions.
