A public hearing, in the discretion of the Senate Highway and Transportation Committee and the House Transportation Committee chairmen, may be held by the chairmen and three (3) appointed members of the committees meeting concurrently to receive testimony within twenty (20) days after the receipt of notice to the chairmen of the statement of intent to abandon or discontinue service. The committees may adopt, by a majority vote of those members present and voting, a concurrent resolution memorializing the Surface Transportation Board either to permit or to refuse to permit the person, company or other legal entity owning or operating the railroad to abandon the rail line or discontinue rail service thereon, stating the reasons supporting the position. If a concurrent resolution is adopted by both of the committees, the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate shall forthwith transmit certified copies of such resolution to the Surface Transportation Board, the Mississippi Transportation Commission and to each of the members of Congress elected from the state.
