CON; authorize issuance of to nonprofit company in Jefferson County to provide home health services.

HB 711 allows Mississippi's State Department of Health to issue a certificate of need to a specific nonprofit home health services provider in Jefferson County. This nonprofit previously held such a certificate but lost it when a moratorium on new certificates began. The bill authorizes the provider to resume offering home health services in Adams, Amite, Franklin, Jefferson, and Wilkinson counties. It directly affects the nonprofit organization and residents in those five counties who rely on home health services.
