Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
220 ILCS 5/13-504
(220 ILCS 5/13-504) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 13-504)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)
Sec. 13-504. Application of ratemaking provisions of Article IX.
(a) Except where the context clearly renders such provisions
inapplicable, the ratemaking provisions of Article IX of this Act relating
to public utilities are fully and equally applicable to the rates, charges,
tariffs and classifications for the offer or provision of noncompetitive
telecommunications services. However, the ratemaking provisions do not apply to
any proposed change in rates or charges, any proposed change in any
classification or tariff resulting in a change in rates or charges, or the
establishment of new services and rates therefor for
a noncompetitive local exchange telecommunications service offered or provided
by a local exchange telecommunications carrier with no more than 35,000
subscriber access lines. Proposed changes in rates, charges,
classifications, or tariffs meeting these criteria shall be permitted upon
the filing of the proposed tariff and 30 days notice to the Commission and
all potentially affected customers. The proposed changes shall not be
subject to suspension. The Commission shall investigate whether any proposed
change is just and reasonable only if a telecommunications
carrier that is
a customer of the local exchange telecommunications carrier or 10% of the potentially affected access line subscribers of the
local exchange telecommunications carrier shall file a petition or
complaint requesting an investigation of the proposed
changes. When the
telecommunications carrier or 10% of the
potentially
affected access line subscribers of a local exchange telecommunications
carrier file a complaint, the Commission shall, after notice and hearing,
have the power and duty to establish the rates, charges, classifications,
or tariffs it finds to be just and reasonable.
(b) Subsection (c) of Section 13-502 and Sections 13-505.1, 13-505.4,
13-505.6, and 13-507 of this Article do not
apply to rates or charges or proposed changes in rates or charges for
applicable competitive or interexchange services when offered or provided
by a local exchange telecommunications carrier with no more than 35,000
subscriber access lines. In addition, Sections 13-514, 13-515, and 13-516 do
not apply to telecommunications carriers with no more than 35,000 subscriber
access
lines. The Commission may require telecommunications
carriers with no more than 35,000 subscriber access lines to
furnish
information that the Commission deems necessary for a determination that
rates and charges for any competitive telecommunications service are
just and reasonable.
(c) For a local exchange telecommunications carrier with no more than
35,000 access lines, the Commission shall consider and adjust,
as
appropriate, a local exchange telecommunications carrier's depreciation
rates only in ratemaking proceedings.
(d) Article VI and Sections 7-101 and 7-102 of Article VII of this Act
pertaining to public utilities, public utility rates and services, and the
regulation thereof are not applicable to local exchange telecommunication
carriers with no more than 35,000 subscriber access lines.
