Municipal utilities; revise composition of the commission to include one person who is a customer that receives service by such utility.

Summary

The bill changes Mississippi law so that municipal utility commissions must have two commissioners who are residential customers receiving service outside the city limits. It also adds a requirement that all members of a community public water system’s governing board complete eight hours of management training, with extra training for board officers. The changes aim to give non‑resident customers a voice in utility decisions and improve oversight of water systems.
