Bill > SB0738

This bill makes a minor technical amendment to Section 16-101 of the Public Utilities Act, specifically in the section concerning the short title and applicability of the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997. The proposed change is extremely subtle, involving the removal and reinsertion of the word "the" before the law's title, which appears to be a typographical correction. The bill does not substantively alter the law's meaning or function, and it maintains the existing provisions about the law's applicability to electric utilities and alternative retail electric suppliers. The amendment preserves the original language that allows the law to apply to electric utilities' tariffed services, with the other Articles of the Public Utilities Act remaining fully applicable where not specifically modified by this Article. While the government-provided summary describes this as a technical change, the bill essentially confirms the existing legal text with a minor word adjustment.
