Title V Advisory Council; revise membership and replace inactive or nonexistent member groups of.
HB 1015 revises the membership structure of Mississippi's Title V Advisory Council, which studies and recommends fees for an environmental program administered by the Department of Environmental Quality. The bill requires replacing any inactive or non-existent member groups on the council, which currently includes four industry representatives (appointed by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker), plus officials from the Mississippi Development Authority, Business Alliance, and Farm Bureau Federation. Council members serve four-year terms without salary but receive expense reimbursement for travel related to their duties. This change ensures the council maintains active representation from relevant stakeholder groups to review program costs and fee structures annually.
