Foster care decisions; authorize appeal of to the chancery court of residence.

HB 886 would allow individuals affected by foster care decisions made by Mississippi's Department of Human Services or Child Protection Services to appeal those decisions to their county's chancery court. Specifically, it would authorize people who disagree with placement, custody, or other foster care-related rulings to seek judicial review in their local court. The bill focuses on creating a new legal avenue for appeal, not changing foster care standards or services. It died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
