SUMMARY: Ahead of today's adjournment, a few bills remain in the state legislature, including a debate over expanding Medicaid in Mississippi. Lawmakers faced a deadline but were able to extend negotiations for one more day. The proposed Medicaid expansion would require new recipients to work at least 100 hours, similar to a requirement in Georgia which is being legally challenged. Another bill would allow Bay St. Louis to use FEMA funds for flood mitigation. The outcome of these bills remains uncertain as the legislature adjourns. Stay updated on the progress of these bills at the state capital in Jackson.
