Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Telecommunications Article of the Public Utilities Act. Requires the Commerce Commission to investigate a telecommunications carrier that has an impaired financial condition. Requires telecommunications carriers that provide retail local exchange service to submit annual reports on the same basis as local incumbent exchange carriers. Effective immediately.

Fiscal Note (Illinois Commerce Commission)

The ICC anticipates a substantial increase in investigations and hearings before the Commission. It is estimated that this will generate at least 20 cases a year at a cost of approximately $2,500 a case, roughly $50,000 a year. Further, SB 914 will also result in additional tracking, filing and enforcement costs. This will result in increased staff time to review each report, staff time to issue citations for failure to file, in addition to an increase in postage, storage space, and microfilming costs. It is estimated this portion would cost approximately $10,000 a year.
