SB 2192 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

State Board of Health Professions; create and set out membership/board qualifications, powers and duties.

SB 2192 would have created a new State Board of Health Professions to coordinate Mississippi's existing health regulatory boards (like medical, pharmacy, nursing, and dental boards). The board would include representatives from each existing board, five public members appointed by the governor, and the chairs of two legislative committees. Its duties would include evaluating which health professions need regulation, resolving conflicts between boards, advising the legislature on regulatory policy, and reviewing disciplinary processes. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was never enacted.
