SB 2730: Mississippi Burn Care Fund; provide that SBH shall equitably divide funds among all certified health centers.

SB 2730 requires the Mississippi State Board of Health to fairly divide funds from the Mississippi Burn Care Fund among all certified health centers providing burn care services. This bill amends existing law to specify that the Board must distribute these funds equitably, rather than using prior discretionary allocation methods. The funding supports burn care services for Mississippi residents, including reimbursement for travel and lodging expenses for patients and caregivers. The bill ensures consistent funding distribution across all qualified health centers participating in the state's burn care system.
