BRADLEY-RYAN-MCKEON-OSTERMAN, BURKE, HOWARD AND KENNER. 220 ILCS 5/16-125 Amends the Public Utilities Act with respect to electric utilities serving 1,000,000 or more customers. Abolishes the requirement that 30,000 customers be affected before a utility is required to compensate customers for power outages. Provides that if a power interruption lasts for 24 hours or more, a utility must pay consequential damages. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Commerce Commission) With interruptions no longer subject to a damages threshold and the scope of recovery expanded, the Commission should expect significant increases in formal and informal customer and local-government claim filings. Claim and waiver investigations and proceedings will certainly consume additional Commission time, staff, and financial resources, although it is difficult to provide a estimate fiscal impact at this time. STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs) In the opinion of DCCA, HB 919 does not create a State mandate under the State Mandates Act.
