The Mississippi Commission on Hospital Care was created by an act of the Legislature when the Governor signed House Bill 430 in 1946. The commission was composed of six members appointed by the Governor, one from each of the three Supreme Court districts and three from the state at large. As an agency, its duties were to implement a state-wide survey of hospitals and other health facilities in Mississippi, establish a state-wide plan for the construction and equipage of such facilities, and to administer any federal funds provided by Congress for those purposes. With the passage of House Bill 687 in 1948, the commission was also authorized as the sole licensing agency for non-federal hospitals in Mississippi.
In 1979, the laws establishing the Mississippi Commission on Hospital Care were repealed and its functions were rolled into the newly-created Mississippi Health Care Commission (Chapter 451, Laws of 1979).
