Bill > SB1084

This bill makes a 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 amendment involves a minor grammatical change, removing and reinserting the word "the" before the law's title, which appears to be a formatting or typographical correction. The bill does not substantively change the law's meaning or function, which relates to electric utility regulations and applies to electric utilities and alternative retail electric suppliers. The law continues to specify that other Articles of the Public Utilities Act remain applicable to electric utility services, except where modified by this specific Article. The bill maintains the existing provisions about biennial rate proceedings for electric utilities, allowing them to elect to file such proceedings in specific years by notifying the Commission.
