HB 599 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Holly Springs Utility Department Board; establish.

HB 599 would have established a 9-member board to govern the Holly Springs Utility Department, directly affecting residents of Holly Springs, Marshall County, and Benton County. The board would consist of 5 members appointed by Holly Springs' city government, 2 by Marshall County, and 2 by Benton County, with four-year terms to manage utility systems and services. Board members would need to be qualified voters from their appointing authority and could not hold other elected offices. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and never became law, so these provisions were never implemented.
