What is a Public Service Commission (PSC)?

A public service commission (PSC) is generally a regulatory body at the state level responsible for regulating utilities that provide service within a state. The commission is comprised of either state-elected or state-appointed officials. These members regulate all electric, gas, water, cable and telephone retail in many states, and are also generally responsible for ensuring that utilities are responsive to customers' needs and service requests, and that service is both adequate and reliable.

How Mississippi PSC describes itself:

Mississippi Public Service Commission regulates all for-hire motor transportation and passenger carriers and telecommunication, electric, gas, water and sewer utilities. The MPSC is charged with assuring that rates and charges for services are just and reasonable, that the service rendered is reasonably adequate, and that any facilities constructed or acquired are required for the convenience and necessity of the public.

Additionally, the Mississippi PSC exercises safety jurisdiction over motor carriers and gas pipelines, and has area jurisdiction over all public utilities. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Commission answers complaints, makes investigations, does law enforcement, and conducts both formal and informal hearings.
