SB 2475 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Department of Youth Services; bring forward code sections related to.

This bill updates Mississippi's legal code to refer to the "Department of Human Services" instead of the "Department of Youth Services" in all relevant sections. It brings forward 17 existing code sections (43-27-2, 43-27-8, etc.) and makes minor technical changes to two others (43-27-11 and 43-27-35). The bill does not change the department's duties or programs; it only aligns the legal references with the department's current name. This is a procedural update for administrative consistency, not a policy change.
