Mississippi Considers Limits On Corporate Jets
The Mississippi Public Service Commission could vote this fall on a proposed rule designed to limit the corporate travel expenses that utility companies can pass along to customers.
The commission took comments on the proposal Thursday in Jackson.
The rule would not prohibit utility companies from using private jets, but it would limit reimbursement to the equivalent cost of a coach rate on a commercial flight.
Southern District Commissioner Leonard Bentz says the rule could come up for a vote in two months.
Northern District Commissioner Brandon Presley says companies should not pass along expenses to customers who might already have trouble paying utility bills.
