SB 2414 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality Advisory Council; expand membership.

SB 2414 updates the membership composition of Mississippi's Title V Advisory Council by replacing inactive or non-existent industry representation groups. The council will now include four industry representatives (appointed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House) alongside existing members from business and agricultural organizations. This change ensures the council reflects current stakeholders who pay Title V program fees, while maintaining its existing duty to study program costs and recommend equitable fee structures for the Department of Environmental Quality. The bill does not alter the council's core responsibilities or fee-setting mechanisms.
