HB 387 Telephone utilities; SCC to treat all providers of local exchange telephone service equitably.
Introduced by: William R. Janis | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Telephone utilities; switched access rates. Requires the State Corporation Commission to establish a schedule for the elimination of the carrier common line element of intrastate carrier switched access charges. For incumbent local exchange carriers with more than 15,000 access lines, the charges are to be eliminated by July 1, 2013. For those with more than 15,000 access lines or that have received a grant and loan under the federal Broadband Initiatives Program, the Commission will determine such a schedule by July 1, 2011. Certain carriers with 15,000 or fewer access lines may apply for an opportunity to be heard on the issue of extending the deadline for elimination of such charges to a date not later than July 1, 2014. Carriers shall be permitted to increase retail rates to recover a reasonable amount of revenue lost due to the elimination of such charges.
