The Mississippi Opioid Settlement Fund Advisory Council; create.

The bill title was updated from 'Committee Substitute' to 'As Passed the Senate', reflecting its progression through the legislative process rather than changing the bill's substantive provisions.

Added a new requirement that the council shall not exclude any qualified applicant from the list of recommended grant recipients provided to the Legislature.

Adjusted the council membership composition by reordering and modifying member categories, including adding a member from the State Intervention Courts Advisory Committee.

Added a requirement that the council terminate when all opioid settlement monies have been received and disbursed, unless additional funds are anticipated within one year.

Added a new provision allowing voting members to request additional nonvoting advisory members with expertise in opioid prevention, treatment, and recovery, subject to a majority vote.

Modified term lengths for council members, with specific terms for members appointed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House, and a three-year term for all other members.
