Health and human services agencies; require to prepare video with nutrition and healthy eating information for benefit recipients.
HB 227 requires Mississippi's Department of Human Services, State Department of Health, and Division of Medicaid to create a 20-minute video covering nutrition, healthy eating, obesity prevention, and breastfeeding benefits. The video must be offered in agency offices and on websites to applicants and recipients of TANF, SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and CHIP benefits. It must include specific topics like dietary guidelines, physical activity recommendations, breastfeeding tips, and local resources, with annual updates. The video must be available by January 1, 2028, and the law clarifies that breastfeeding information is included in this single video rather than requiring separate materials.
