2021 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER

The Electric Cooperatives of Mississippi (ECM), a statewide trade organization, serves as the unified voice for the electric cooperative family. Although ECM doesn’t generate or distribute power, our group represents the 25 distribution and one generation and transmission cooperatives that provide electric service throughout Mississippi.

Our most important role is representing the more than 1.8 million Mississippians serve by one of our electric Michael Callahan power associations. They are hardworking, strong in values Executive Vice President/CEO and courageous in their efforts to ensure our state continues to be a great place to live and work. It is with the same spirit we serve as their voice with elected officials.

We salute the more than 2,950 employees who work tireless hours to ensure each member is provided quality and reliable electric service at the least cost possible. They serve with a commitment not only to their employer but to the communities and areas they call home.

Since 1966, we have published the Legislative Roster. This popular publication recognizes our elected officials and serves to assist everyone in a commitment to continue our efforts in moving Mississippi forward.

Together we can make a difference in the lives of all Mississippians.

2021 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER The Electric Cooperatives of Mississippi proudly presents the 2021 Legislative Roster as a tribute to our elected officials who work diligently for the benefit of all Mississippians.

We appreciate their dedication and willingness to serve.

Working together, we will continue our unwavering commitment to common goals that ensure all Mississippians enjoy the benefits made possible by our electric distribution service.

The majestic eagle finds a perfect spot to watch over his land after gliding through the beautiful Mississippi skies.

31 * Appropriation, revenue, and local and private bills, and bills to restore suffrage are excluded from these deadlines. For purposes of the deadlines herein set forth, the term “revenue bills” shall include only those bills whose primary purpose is to increase or decrease taxes or to authorize the issuance of bonds or the borrowing of money. Bills which are primarily for regulatory purposes which have revenue provisions included shall not be considered as revenue bills for deadline purposes. The deletion from a bill of the features which made it a revenue bill shall render the bill a general bill for deadline purposes. ** Conference reports on all bills must be filed with the Secretary/Clerk no later than the time of adjournment on the day prior to being called up and considered. Appropriation bills which actually appropriate money and are recommitted for further conference are excluded from the requirement that the subsequent conference report be filed and lay on table one (1) day before being considered; however, original action must be taken on all appropriation conference reports by 2:00 p.m. on the 84th/119th day and subsequent reports must be filed no later than 6:00 p.m. *** Requests for general bills and constitutional amendments to be drafted must be made no later than 8:00 p.m. on the 9th/45th day. The Rules Committee of the House or Senate, as the case may be, may authorize any member of its respective house to make requests, for one or more general bills or constitutional amendments to be drafted, after the expiration of the deadline for making such drafting requests but before the deadline for introduction of bills and constitutional amendments, upon a determination by the Rules Committee that such drafting requests are in response to conditions of an emergency nature arising subsequent to the deadline for making requests for general bills and constitutional amendments to be drafted. + Committee reports and conference reports that are subject to being filed on these deadlines must be filed with the Secretary/Clerk no later than 8:00 p.m.

Whenever the word “day” appears in this rule, it shall mean calendar day.

The above schedule shall not be deviated from except by the passage of a concurrent resolution adopted by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the membership of the House and Senate present and voting.

Saluting the men and women who power our lives

The men and women who work at Mississippi’s electric cooperatives are special employees who operate the many moving parts of providing power to our members on a daily basis.

Although their diligence is apparent year in and year out, 2020 was a different year than most. The past year was one defined by excessive weather challenges and a global pandemic that changed how cooperatives – and the world – conducted business.

Back to back hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico hit Mississippi and other southeastern states and knocked out power far and wide. Mississippi linemen, always on call and prepared to deploy whenever needed, went out in adverse conditions in their home state as well as others in the region to restore power to residents and businesses in need.

Tornadoes in Mississippi wreaked havoc this year throughout the state causing long hours and extra personnel to get electricity back to our members.

But it wasn’t just our linemen who answered the call to help our members

and members of other cooperatives nearby.

Office personnel put on chef hats to cook or arrange food for lineman and support staff.

Cooperative communicators were dispatched to the field to shoot photos for social media to keep members up to date with the latest information.

The more than 2,950 employees who work for Mississippi’s electric cooperatives went above and beyond to meet the challenges of 2020 to ensure our members had power restored in a safe and timely manner.

We salute the employees of Mississippi’s electric cooperatives for their dedication this past year and commitment for years to come.

Thank you for all you do!

a quality of life partner
