AN ACT
To amend chapter 394, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to electric cooperatives.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 394, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 394.320, to read as follows:
394.320. 1. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, any regional electric cooperative providing services to two or more municipalities of any classification that is located in whole or in part within the state of Missouri and that has the primary function of generating and transmitting power from a generation cooperative to a distribution cooperative shall allow the municipalities to whom it provides services to appoint at least two members to the governing board of such regional electric cooperative. The appointments shall be made by a majority vote of the mayors of the municipalities served by the regional electric cooperative. Those appointed to the governing board of the regional electric cooperative shall enjoy the full rights, privileges, and benefits of the other members of the board of the regional electric cooperative.
2. This section may be enforced in any court of proper jurisdiction by an injunctive remedy requiring that the regional electric cooperative cease part or all of its activities within Missouri if such regional electric cooperative fails to comply with any of the requirements of subsection 1 of this section.
