Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997 of the Public Utilities Act. Provides that, at such time as the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System includes neither the nominal yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds nor the Treasury Long-Term Average Rate (25 years and above) in its weekly H.15 Statistical Release or successor publication, the nominal yields of 20-year U.S. Treasury bonds published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in its weekly H.15 Statistical Release or successor publication shall instead be used to establish a rate for the purpose of calculating the Index defined in subsection (e) of Section 16-111 of the Act, and at such time, such yields of 20-year U.S. Treasury bonds shall also be used in place of the yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds in the rate of return calculation required by subsection (d) of Section 16-111. Effective January 1, 2006.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
220 ILCS 5/16-111

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997 in the Public Utilities Act. Provides that certain rates of calculation shall be established by reference to the weekly H.15 Statistical Release or successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Provides that, of each of the following that are published in that weekly Statistical Release or successor publication, the lowest shall be used: (i) monthly average nominal yields of 20-year U.S. Treasury Bonds, (ii) Monthly Average Nominal Treasury Long-Term Treasury Rates (25 years and above), and (iii) monthly average nominal yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds. Deletes a provision requiring the use of the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond rate until it ceases to be included in that publication and thereafter the Monthly Treasury Long-Term Average Rate (25 years and above) in establishing those rates of calculation. Makes corresponding changes.
