Children's Resource Commission; create to coordinate and streamline the state's efforts to provide services to children.

HB 314 creates the Children's Resource Commission to coordinate and streamline Mississippi's state services for children. The 17-member commission, including representatives from agencies like Human Services, Education, Health, and mental health organizations, must map all state and federal funding for children's health, safety, and education. It will assess program effectiveness, evaluate merging or discontinuing services, and report annually to the governor and legislature by December 1. All state agencies providing child services must submit itemized program lists to the commission each year.
