Electric Power Association Law; bring forward entirely and amend election provisions of.

HB 133 amends Mississippi's Electric Power Association Law to revise election procedures for boards of directors in member-owned electric cooperatives. It changes director terms to all three-year staggered terms until July 2026, then shifts to four-year elections held on the same schedule as public school board elections (first Tuesday after the first Monday in November), with runoff elections three weeks later. The bill also requires directors to be members, mandates 50 member signatures for candidacy (though cooperatives may adopt lower thresholds via bylaws), and clarifies member access to board meetings. This bill directly affects Mississippi's electric power associations and their members, but it died in committee in February 2026 and did not become law.
