Bill > SB0737

This bill makes a minor technical correction to Section 16-101 of the Public Utilities Act, specifically in the section describing the short title and applicability of the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997. The bill removes and replaces the word "the" before the law's title, which appears to be a typographical adjustment. The section continues to define the law's applicability to electric utilities and alternative retail electric suppliers, and clarifies that other Articles of the Public Utilities Act remain fully applicable to electric utility services unless specifically modified by this Article. The bill also preserves language about an earlier provision allowing certain electric utilities to file biennial rate proceedings in specific years (1998, 2000, and 2002), though this appears to be historical language that may no longer be actively relevant. The change is extremely technical in nature and does not substantively alter the law's meaning or implementation.
