MS SB2418

Establishes the "Mississippi Free Health Clinic Volunteers in Medicine Act" to provide healthcare services to low-income and uninsured residents through certified free clinics and volunteer health care providers.

Health care providers and volunteers working under contract with free clinics are classified as state employees for tort liability purposes, granting them sovereign immunity under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act while acting within scope of duties.

Requires free clinics to register annually with the Mississippi State Department of Health and establishes contract requirements including patient notification of liability limitations, adverse incident reporting, and clinic supervision and inspection rights.

Authorizes nurses and nurse practitioners to dispense medication in free clinic settings and allows drug manufacturers to donate medications to free clinics up to one year after labeled expiration dates.

Free clinics and health care providers must pay premiums to the Tort Claims Board for liability coverage; the Tort Claims Board and State Department of Health must annually report to the Legislature on claims statistics and program efficacy.
