1 MISSISSIPPI 2015 LEGISLATIVE ROSTER FOR PLACEMENT ONLY

2 This year we pay tribute to the man who has been the voice of electric power associations in government for more than 28 years. Richard Morgan is a true ambassador for electric cooperatives and their members. He works on behalf of some 1.8 million Mississippians, keeping their interests at heart when representing them before government leaders. Richard s passion for the cooperative philosophy and extensive knowledge have been instrumental in educating government leaders on important issues facing our members. His guidance has always been solid and, most of all, trusted. A recognized champion for electric cooperatives, Richard has earned the respect of Mississippi s elected officials at the state and national levels. With retirement on the horizon, Richard s involvement in the state legislature will end at the close of the year. Please join the electric cooperative family in recognizing Richard for his contributions toward improving the quality of life in Mississippi. We dedicate our 2015 legislative roster to Richard Morgan to express gratitude for his service to our organization and his commitment to electric cooperative members. Richard s proudest moments stem from helping people by working to keep their electric rates as low as possible, and their quality of service second to none. He is highly regarded in our industry, and his contributions ultimately benefit all electric power association members. As a statewide trade organization, we seek to be the unified voice of all electric cooperatives in Mississippi, and we are thankful to have Richard lead our efforts. Michael Callahan - CEO Assisting Richard on our government relations team Paul Purnell Bill Wilkerson

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.

An electric power association is a cooperative independently controlled and owned by the members it serves. A member is any customer who has an account with the electric power association. As a not-for-profit, an electric power association pays capital credits to members or lowers rates when it realizes a margin at the end of the year. A board of directors, composed of members elected by the membership, governs an electric power association. The board establishes bylaws, policies and rates that reflect the individuality and needs of the membership. As local leaders, directors are responsive to local needs. Employees are local residents who share a personal and professional interest in the well-being of their community. They embody the cooperative spirit of community involvement by participating in worthwhile causes. Electric power associations promote energy-efficiency programs to help their members reduce energy costs. Mississippi s electric power associations have mutual-aid agreements to help each other restore service to members during major power outages. They may also obtain assistance from (or offer it to) out-of-state electric cooperatives.

56 Electric power associations began forming more than 75 years ago to meet rural Mississippi s unserved need for affordable, reliable electric service. In communities across the state, citizens joined to form their own electric cooperative, or electric power association. Electric power associations transformed life in rural Mississippi, where darkness and manual labor prevailed for decades after cities and towns were electrified. Beyond lighting homes, electric power associations helped boost farm productivity, opened doors for business and industry, and fostered job opportunities. Technology has since transformed our operations, but one aspect will never change: our founders vision to provide a vital service at the low est cost possible. And our service is still Made in Mississippi by Mississippians. With a work force exceeding 2,900, plus 225 co-op members serving on electric power association boards, our powerful network serves more than 1.8 million Mississippians. a quality of life partner P.O.
