Introduced by: William C. Wampler, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Telecommunications services provided by localities; cost allocations.  Removes State Corporation Commission jurisdiction to reconsider, amend or disapprove a locality's manual or methodology for allocating costs in connection with its provision of telecommunications services, if within the preceding 10 years the Commission approved the locality's cost allocation manual or methodology, and the manual or methodology and its application by the locality have not substantively changed.  The measure also provides that if a for-profit competitor of a locality providing telecommunications services unsuccessfully asserts in a proceeding that the locality is improperly subsidizing its telecommunications services, then the Commission may require the provider to pay the locality's expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred in defending the assertion.
