Mississippi HB1038 allows utility customers to opt out of smart meter installation.

Mississippi HB1038 provides utility customers with the option to decline the installation of smart meters. Customers can choose between an analog meter or a smart meter during new building construction. If a customer opts out of a smart meter, the electric distribution company must install an analog meter. The company must also inform customers about the opt-out procedure on its website and through customer support. The bill defines "smart meter" and "smart meter technology" and mandates that such technology provide customers with direct access to price and consumption information.
