PresentationMotion

0:29 → 2:35(2m 6s)

Representative Reginald Murdock introduced House Bill 15‑57 as a ‘notification’ bill asking utilities (he said he worked with Entergy) to alert local authorities and elected officials before planned outages so communities can identify and assist elderly and disabled residents (warming/cooling centers, transportation). He said the measure is about communication only. The committee moved and passed the bill by voice vote; no audience testimony was offered.
