It reflects a proactive approach to tackle unemployment among youth in Mississippi.

Summary

House Bill 213 is a legislative act aimed at appropriating $10 million to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security to fund summer youth employment programs throughout the state for the fiscal year 2027.
