(220 ILCS 5/7-209)
Sec. 7-209.
Marketing limitation; gas utilities.
If a gas utility has an
HVAC
affiliate, the prohibition contained in this Section applies to the employees
of the gas
utility. While a gas utility employee is responding to a service call related
to services
provided under tariffs on file with the Illinois Commerce Commission, the
employee of
the gas utility is prohibited from marketing the services of an HVAC affiliate;
provided,
however, the gas utility employee may refer the customer to the telephone
directory in
response to specific requests for referrals. If a customer's gas appliance or
gas service
has been disconnected due to an emergency situation that requires immediate
attention, a
gas utility employee may provide to that customer a list, including contact
phone
numbers, that includes HVAC affiliates and non-affiliated entities that provide
heating,
ventilating, or air conditioning services.
