Adoption licensure board; bring forward code sections related to creation thereof.
SB 2351 is a procedural bill that reorganizes existing Mississippi Code sections related to licensing for child welfare services. It moves specific provisions (like those governing foster homes, child-placing agencies, and residential child-care facilities) to a new location in the code for potential future amendments. The bill does not change current licensing rules but consolidates related sections under one part of the code. It directly affects foster homes, child-placing agencies, and residential child-care facilities that require state licensing. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law.
