Amends the telecommunications Article of the Public
Utilities Act. Makes legislative findings that changes in
telecommunications regulatory policy have brought benefits to
consumers except those in local exchange markets, which
remain organized as monopolies, and that the public interest
requires a change in the monopoly regulation of local
exchange telecommunications. Provides that for a service to
be classified as competitive, the service or a substitute
service must actually be supplied by more than one provider.
Requires the Illinois Commerce Commission to enforce
interconnection agreements entered into pursuant to the
federal Telecommunications Act of 1996. Establishes
penalties for violations of interconnection agreements.
Amends the Illinois Antitrust Act to remove the exemption
from that Act for telecommunications carriers. Changes the
sunset date for the Telecommunications Article to July 1,
2001 from July 1, 1999. Effective immediately.

1 AN ACT relating to competition in the telecommunications
2 industry.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Public Utilities Act is amended by
6 changing Section 13-102 as follows:
7 (220 ILCS 5/13-102) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 13-102)
8 (This Section is scheduled to be repealed July 1, 1999.)
9 Sec. 13-102. Findings. With respect to
10 telecommunications services, as herein defined, the General
11 Assembly finds that:
12 (a) universally available and widely affordable
13 telecommunications services are essential to the health,
14 welfare and prosperity of all Illinois citizens;
15 (b) recent federal regulatory and judicial rulings have
16 caused a restructuring of the telecommunications industry and
17 have opened some aspects of the industry to competitive
18 entry, thereby necessitating revision of State
19 telecommunications regulatory policies and practices;
20 (c) the competitive offering of telecommunications
21 services may create the potential for increased innovation
22 and efficiency in the provision of telecommunications
23 services and reduced prices for consumers; and
24 (d) protection of the public interest requires continued
25 regulation of telecommunications carriers and services for
26 the foreseeable future.
