Sharkey-Issaquena Hospital - Accountability and Transparency Report
During the 2015 Mississippi legislative session, the House and Senate passed and Gov. Bryant signed into law S.B. 2407, which amended the state’s open meetings law to include public hospitals. Starting January 1, 2016, public hospitals in Mississippi will be required to open their board meetings and certain records to the public. The purpose of this site is to provide a central location for the public to access this information. Click here for a report on the Sharkey-Issaquena Community Hospital.
