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

SB 2556 allows Mississippi's State Department of Health to issue a certificate of need to a specific nonprofit company in Jefferson County that previously provided home health services but lost its approval during a statewide moratorium on new home health providers. This exemption enables the nonprofit to restart home health services in Adams, Amite, Franklin, Jefferson, and Wilkinson counties, where such services were previously unavailable under the moratorium. The bill modifies existing law to permit this exception for the nonprofit's specific circumstances without requiring a new certificate of need application. It directly affects the nonprofit and residents in those five counties who rely on home health care. The bill died in committee and did not become law.
