HB 130 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Medicaid; create Medicaid Commission to administer program and abolish Division of Medicaid.

HB 130 creates the Mississippi Medicaid Commission to replace the current Division of Medicaid as the state's administrator of the Medicaid program. The Commission will consist of seven members (four appointed by the Governor, three by the Lieutenant Governor) with specific qualifications to avoid conflicts of interest. It transfers all responsibilities, staff, property, and duties from the abolished Division of Medicaid to the new Commission, which will appoint a full-time Executive Director to manage operations. The bill restructures administrative oversight without changing Medicaid eligibility or benefit rules.
