Mississippi 2023 Legislative Roster

MISSISSIPPI 2023

LEGISLATIVE ROSTER

ROSTER

The Electric Cooperatives of Mississippi (ECM), a statewide trade organization, serves as the unified voice for the electric cooperative family. Although ECM doesn’t generate or distribute power, our group represents the 25 distribution and one generation and transmission cooperatives that provide electric service throughout Mississippi.

Our most important role is representing the more than 1.8 million Mississippians served by one of our electric power associations. They are hardworking, strong in values, and courageous in their efforts to ensure our state continues to be a great place to live and work. It is with the same spirit we serve as their voice with elected officials.

Michael Callahan Executive Vice President/CEO

We salute the more than 3,000 employees who work tireless hours to ensure each member is provided quality and reliable electric service at the least cost possible. They serve with a commitment not only to their employer but to the communities and areas they call home.

Since 1966, we have published the Legislative Roster. This popular publication recognizes our elected officials and serves to assist everyone in a commitment to continue our efforts in moving Mississippi forward.

Together we can make a difference in the lives of all Mississippians.

APRIL 2023

Deadline to DISPOSE OF MOTIONS TO RECONSIDER conference reports on general bills and constitutional amendments.

* Appropriation, revenue, and local and private bills, and bills to restore suffrage are excluded from these deadlines. For purposes of the deadlines herein set forth, the term “revenue bills” shall include only those bills whose primary purpose is to increase or decrease taxes or to authorize the issuance of bonds or the borrowing of money. Bills which are primarily for regulatory purposes which have revenue provisions included shall not be considered as revenue bills for deadline purposes. The deletion from a bill of the features which made it a revenue bill shall render the bill a general bill for deadline purposes.

** Conference reports on all bills must be filed with the Secretary/Clerk no later than the time of adjournment on the day prior to being called up and considered. Appropriation bills which actually appropriate money and are recommitted for further conference are excluded from the requirement that the subsequent conference report be filed and lay on table one (1) day before being considered; however, original action must be taken on all appropriation conference reports by 2:00 p.m. on the 84th/119th day and subsequent reports must be filed no later than 6:00 p.m.

*** Requests for general bills and constitutional amendments to be drafted must be made no later than 8:00 p.m. on the 9th/45th day. The Rules Committee of the House or Senate, as the case may be, may authorize any member of its respective house to make requests, for one or more general bills or constitutional amendments to be drafted, after the expiration of the deadline for making such drafting requests but before the deadline for introduction of bills and constitutional amendments, upon a determination by the Rules Committee that such drafting requests are in response to conditions of an emergency nature arising subsequent to the deadline for making requests for general bills and constitutional amendments to be drafted.

+ Committee reports and conference reports that are subject to being filed on these deadlines must be filed with the Secretary/Clerk no later than 8:00 p.m.

Whenever the word “day” appears in this rule, it shall mean calendar day.

The above schedule shall not be deviated from except by the passage of a concurrent resolution adopted by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the membership of the House and Senate present and voting.

At Cooperative Energy, it's something we work to deliver every single day. It means working 24/7 to deliver affordable, reliable power to your home and local businesses. It also means strengthening your community through new jobs and economic growth, and supporting local schools, businesses and community organizations WE
