Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 49-17-743, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Provide That The Public Service Commission Shall Not Effect A Ruling, Promulgation, Finding Or Decision That Interferes Or Conflicts With The Powers Granted To The County Authority; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to clarify that the Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC), a state agency that regulates utilities, cannot issue any rulings, decisions, or findings that interfere with or conflict with the powers already granted to county authorities under the Mississippi Gulf Coast Region Utility Act. Essentially, it ensures that county authorities retain their established authority over utility matters within their jurisdiction without being overridden by the PSC, while still allowing the PSC to issue certificates of public convenience and necessity to entities other than county authorities.
