MO HB3364

Municipally owned utilities, public water supply districts, and rural electric cooperatives must develop special tariff schedules for large customers (50+ megawatts annual peak demand for electricity, or 2+ million gallons per day/80% system capacity for water) to ensure rates reflect actual service costs and prevent cost-shifting to other customer classes

Water corporations must enter commission-approved contracts with high-volume water customers (2+ million gallons per day or 80% system capacity) under the same cost-allocation principles

Electric providers must establish load-shedding plans with large-load customers (100+ megawatts for providers with over 250,000 customers; 50-100 megawatts for smaller providers), prioritizing critical facilities and residential services during system emergencies

Creates a new major industrial water user permit system through the Department of Natural Resources for withdrawals exceeding 2 million gallons per day, requiring demonstration that water resources are available, withdrawal won't exceed 80% of capacity, and won't interfere with existing beneficial uses

Permits are valid for five years with annual reporting requirements; existing major water users may request reevaluation of permits, and the department must reevaluate permits during governor-declared drought emergencies with authority to impose additional conditions or revoke permits
