Mississippi Senate committee passes their version of Medicaid expansion
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate Medicaid Committee passed a Medicaid expansion plan that would cover those aged 19 to 64 making up to 100% of the federal poverty level. This version differs from the House bill that passed earlier in the legislative session, which covered individuals up to 138% of the federal poverty level. The Senate plan includes a 30-hour weekly work requirement and an estimated 80,000 Mississippians would be eligible for coverage. The Senate has until April 10 to pass the plan off of the Senate floor. Faith leaders in Mississippi are advocating for Medicaid expansion.

Mississippi Senate agrees to a new school funding formula, sending plan to the governor
SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers are considering replacing the outdated Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) with a new funding formula, the Mississippi Student Funding Formula. This new plan aims to provide more financial support to school districts, especially for students with additional needs. The bill has passed in both the state Senate and House, with some dissenting votes. Critics argue that the Legislature has consistently underfunded education in the past. The new formula would allocate an additional $217 million for schools compared to the current MAEP budget. Republican Sen. Angela Hill expressed concerns about funding for students learning English as a second language due to immigration issues.
