3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Public Utilities Act is amended by
6 changing Section 13-402 as follows:
7 (220 ILCS 5/13-402) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 13-402)
8 (This Section is scheduled to be repealed July 1, 1999.)
9 Sec. 13-402. Waiver or modification of rules. The
10 Commission is authorized, in connection with the issuance or
11 modification of a Certificate of Interexchange Service
12 Authority or the modification of a certificate of public
13 convenience and necessity for interexchange
14 telecommunications service, to waive or modify the
15 application of its rules, general orders, procedures, or
16 notice requirements when that such action will reduce the
17 economic burdens of regulation and such waiver or
18 modification is not inconsistent with the law or the purposes
19 and policies of this Article.
20 Any such waiver or modification granted to any
21 interexchange telecommunications carrier which has, or any
22 group of such carriers any one of which has annual revenues
23 exceeding $10,000,000 shall be automatically applied fully
24 and equally to all such carriers with annual revenues
25 exceeding $10,000,000 unless the Commission specifically
26 finds, after notice to all such carriers and a hearing, that
27 restricting the application of such waiver or modification to
28 only one such carrier or some group of such carriers is
29 consistent with and would promote the purposes and policies
30 of this Article and the protection of telecommunications
31 customers.
