Bill > HB0773

This bill makes a technical amendment to Section 16-101 of the Public Utilities Act, specifically modifying language in the section describing the short title and applicability of the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997. The amendment appears to be a minor grammatical change, removing and reinserting the word "the" before the law's title, which does not substantively alter the meaning or intent of the existing statute. The section continues to define the law's scope, indicating that it applies to electric utilities and alternative retail electric suppliers, and that other Articles of the Public Utilities Act remain fully applicable to utility services except where modified by this specific Article. The bill maintains the existing provisions related to electric utilities' rate proceedings, including a clause about utilities that elected to file biennial rate proceedings in specific years.
