Mississippi Code § 37-11-71
Directs the state Department of Education to require all public school districts to take certain actions to manage asthma in the school setting. These actions include implementing an IPM plan, minimizing school bus idling, and requiring local school health councils to develop long range IAQ maintenance plans. School districts are also required to direct local school health councils to adopt and implement a local school wellness policy that addresses: (1) minimizing children's exposure to pollutants that trigger asthma; (2) assessing IAQ and ventilation in school buildings annually; (3) prohibiting the use of hazardous substances such as cleaning products and pesticides while children are present; and (4) ensuring that school construction projects implement containment procedures for pollutants that trigger asthma. Regulations under the law (Miss. Admin. Code t. 7, pt. 8) establish a K-8 Health Curriculum Resource that includes a teacher's classroom checklist with numerous IAQ-related items.
Mississippi Code §§ 83-5-1, 83-5-29--51
Authorizes the state to regulate the practice of insurance companies, including the prohibition of unfair trade practices. Regulations adopted under the law (19 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 1, R.34.05) establish the Mississippi Homeowner Insurance Policy Bill of Rights which, among other things, requires that the insured be provided with a statement indicating whether their residential property coverage includes insurance against mold.
Mississippi Code § 83-58-5
Excludes mold and mold damage from a home builder warranty, unless the builder's negligence was a proximate or contributing cause, or unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
