What changed in the latest version

The latest version of Bill SB 2818 has added a provision that allows the executive directors of the Department of Health and the Department of Revenue to negotiate limits on liability for contractors involved in information technology contracts related to the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act. This change is significant because it helps define the responsibilities and risks for contractors, potentially making it easier for the state to engage with technology providers while ensuring that there are clear boundaries in place. The previous version included definitions related to state and nonstate service employees but did not address contractor liability.
