CON; Health Department shall issue for construction of an acute care hospital in Tunica County.

Summary

The bill amends Mississippi’s certificate‑of‑need law so the Tunica County Health Care Authority, the county board of supervisors, or another authorized manager can request a CON to construct a new acute‑care hospital in Tunica County, provided they show the project is financially viable. It would require the State Department of Health to issue the certificate if the viability test is met, potentially expanding hospital services for local residents.
