 8        Sec.  9-102.   Filing of rates and charges.  Every public
 9    utility shall file with the Commission and  shall  print  and
10    keep  open  to  public inspection schedules showing all rates
11    and other charges, and classifications, which are in force at
12    the time for any product or  commodity  furnished  or  to  be

14    any service in connection  therewith,  or  performed  by  any
15    public  utility  controlled  or  operated by it. Every public
16    utility shall file with and as a part of  such  schedule  and
17    shall  state  separately  all  rules, regulations, storage or
18    other charges, privileges and contracts that  in  any  manner
19    affect  the  rates  charged or to be charged for any service.
20    Such schedule shall  be  filed  for  all  services  performed
21    wholly  or  partly within this State, and the rates and other
22    charges and classifications shall not, without the consent of
23    the Commission, exceed those in effect on December 31,  1985.
24    But nothing in this section shall prevent the Commission from
25    approving or fixing rates or other charges or classifications
26    from  time  to time, in excess of or less than those shown by
27    said schedules.
28        Where a schedule of joint  rates  or  other  charges,  or
29    classifications  is  or  may  be in force between two or more
30    public utilities such  schedules  shall  in  like  manner  be
31    printed and filed with the Commission, and so much thereof as
                            -2-                LRB9000755JSgc
 1    the Commission shall deem necessary for the use of the public
 2    shall  be  filed  in  every  office of such public utility in
 3    accordance with the terms  of  Section  9-103  of  this  Act.
 4    Unless otherwise ordered by the Commission a schedule showing
 5    such  joint  rates  or other charges, or classifications need
 6    not be filed with the Commission by  more  than  one  of  the
 7    parties  to  it:  Provided, that there is also filed with the
 8    Commission a concurrence in such  schedule  by  each  of  the
 9    other parties thereto.
10        Every  public  utility  shall  file  with  the Commission
11    copies of all  contracts,  agreements  or  arrangements  with
12    other  public  utilities, in relation to any service, product
13    or commodity affected by the provisions of this Act, to which
14    it may be  a  party,  and  copies  of  all  other  contracts,
15    agreements   or   arrangements   with  any  other  person  or
16    corporation affecting in the judgment of the  Commission  the
17    cost  to  such  public  utility  of  any  service, product or
18    commodity.
