AI Summary

This bill modifies the membership of the Title V Advisory Council, which is responsible for studying and reviewing the costs associated with the Title V program administered by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). The Title V program is a federal clean air program that requires certain industrial facilities to obtain permits and pay fees to cover the costs of program administration. The bill increases the number of industry representatives on the council from three to four, with specific appointment methods for each. It also replaces the "Mississippi Manufacturers Association" with the "Mississippi Business Alliance" and removes the "Chairman of the Mississippi Small Business Compliance Advisory Panel" from the council's composition, while adding the President of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation. These changes aim to update the council's representation to reflect current organizations and ensure it has the necessary expertise to effectively oversee the Title V program's financial aspects.
