Municipally owned energy distribution system; expand oversight.

Summary

Mississippi law now mandates that municipally owned or operated public utilities be audited each year by an independent firm if they receive a low health rating, or if requested by the mayor or a supermajority of the city council. The audit costs fall on the utility, and results must be reported to the Public Service Commission by Dec. 1. Violations can lead to civil fines.
