HB 464 Public service companies; rates & services for telephone cooperatives.
Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Public service companies; rates and services for telephone cooperatives. Removes from the State Corporation Commission (the Commission) the authority to regulate the service rates charged by a telephone cooperative to its members. Presently, the Commission must promulgate rules to provide that the service rates charged by telephone cooperatives are nondiscriminatory, reasonable and just. This bill also removes from the Commission (i) the authority to suspend the enforcement of proposed telephone cooperatives' rates, (ii) its jurisdiction over service quality and types of service offerings, and (iii) the authority to investigate the reasonableness or justice of the proposed rates whenever a protest or objection to a rate schedule is filed by the lesser of 150 or five percent of the customers subject to the rate.
