SUMMARY: Efforts to expand Medicaid to 200,000 Mississippians died during the 2024 Legislative Session due to breakdown in negotiations between House and Senate leaders. A new proposal for a ballot referendum was introduced, causing a compromise measure to fall apart. The compromise would have provided healthcare coverage to those making up to 138% of the federal poverty level, with a work requirement. House Democrats opposed the measure, and there were doubts about the Senate's approval. Mississippi remains one of 10 states that have not expanded Medicaid. Both House and Senate leaders have indicated that Medicaid expansion may be considered in the future.

Mississippi Republicans revive bill to regulate transgender bathroom use in schools
SUMMARY: Mississippi's Republican-led Legislature revived a bill to regulate transgender people's restroom use, requiring single-sex facilities in public education buildings. The legislation would mandate using spaces corresponding to sex assigned at birth. Democrats opposed the bill, citing risks to transgender individuals. Advocacy groups mobilized Republican women to support the bill, which ultimately passed with weaker penalties than originally proposed. The bill follows other Mississippi laws banning transgender athletes in sports and gender-affirming care. Republican legislators defend the bill as protecting female privacy on college campuses. The issue is part of a broader national trend of Republicans restricting transgender rights in state legislatures.
