Department of Mental Health and community health centers; expand outpatient services for certain formerly incarcerated state inmates.

HB 1090 requires Mississippi's Department of Mental Health and community mental health centers to expand outpatient and community-based services for formerly incarcerated individuals diagnosed with mental illness during their time in state correctional facilities. The bill specifically targets this population to improve access to care after release, with services funded through existing appropriations. It mandates these expanded services for eligible individuals who are no longer incarcerated, aiming to support their reintegration. The bill was referred to committee in early 2026 but died there, so it has not become law.
