Children's services and programs; require all state agencies to provide information relating to such in a list to the Legislature.

HB 315 requires all Mississippi state agencies, departments, institutions, and political subdivisions that provide services to children to create an annual, detailed list of their programs. The list must include program descriptions, funding sources (federal and state), costs, the number of children served, and performance metrics tracking outcomes. Agencies must submit these lists to the John C. Stennis Institute at Mississippi State University by September 1 each year, and the Institute must compile the data into a single report for relevant legislative committees by December 1. This bill directly affects all state entities delivering children's services by mandating standardized, transparent reporting to the Legislature.
