Bill Summary
This resolution authorizes testimony in an administrative hearing for Bryan K. Stanley, who is appealing a decision made by the Mississippi Division of Medicaid. The beneficiary has requested testimony from an employee of Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith's office. However, according to the privileges and rules of the Senate, no evidence can be taken from their control or possession without permission. This resolution grants permission for the employee to testify, as long as they do not reveal any privileged information.
Possible Impacts
1. Bryan K. Stanley may have to go through an administrative hearing, which could potentially be stressful and time-consuming for him.
2. Kim Coalter may be required to give testimony, which could be inconvenient and disruptive to her work schedule.
3. The Senate may have to make a decision on whether or not to allow the testimony, which could involve a lot of time and resources.

To authorize testimony in an administrative hearing for Bryan K.
Stanley before the Mississippi Division of Medicaid.
Whereas, in the administrative appeal of Bryan K. Stanley, Dkt. No. MC-18-160,
pending before the Mississippi Division of Medicaid, the beneficiary has
requested testimony from Kim Coalter, an employee of the office of

be taken from such control or possession but by permission of the
Senate; and

the Senate may promote the administration of justice, the Senate will
take such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the
privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That Kim Coalter is authorized to testify in the
administrative hearing of Bryan K. Stanley before the Mississippi
Division of Medicaid, except concerning matters for which a privilege
