Mississippi K-12 and Postsecondary Mental Health Task Force; extend operation of.

SB 2496 extends the Mississippi K-12 and Postsecondary Mental Health Task Force's operation by one additional year. The bill requires the task force to submit its final report and recommendations to the legislature by October 1, 2026, after which the task force will dissolve. The task force was established to analyze student mental health challenges across schools and colleges, assess existing resources and training, and develop policy recommendations. This extension does not change the task force's purpose or membership but provides additional time for its work.
