HB 1457 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Town of Walnut; provide debt forgiveness for certain utility customers.

HB 1457 forgives utility debt for customers in the Town of Walnut whose gas and water meters weren't read for five years before the bill's effective date. It cancels amounts accrued until July 1, 2026, directly affecting those specific Walnut utility customers. After July 1, 2026, customers become responsible for new charges, and the bill expires on June 30, 2027. The law provides a limited-time debt relief measure for a defined group based on meter-reading history.
