Emergency management; bring forward sections for possible amendment relating to utility specific state of emergency.
HB 1182 is a procedural bill that reorganizes three existing sections of Mississippi's emergency management code (33-15-5, 33-15-11, and 33-15-13) to make them more accessible for potential future amendments. It does not change current law but moves these sections to a more prominent position in the code to streamline future legislative review. The bill focuses on clarifying definitions (like "state of emergency" and "emergency management") and the Governor's authority during crises, without altering substantive emergency response procedures. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not advance to the full legislature.
