3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

5 Section 5. The Public Utilities Act is amended by
6 changing Section 5-102 as follows:
7 (220 ILCS 5/5-102) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 5-102)
8 Sec. 5-102. The Commission may shall have power to
9 establish a uniform system of accounts to be kept by public
10 utilities or to classify public utilities and to establish a
11 uniform system of accounts for each class and to prescribe
12 the manner in which such accounts shall be kept. It may
13 also, in its discretion, prescribe the forms of accounts to
14 be kept by public utilities, including records of service, as
15 well as accounts of earnings and expenses, and any other
16 forms, records and memoranda which in the judgment of the
17 Commission may be necessary to carry out any of the
18 provisions of this Act. The system of accounts established
19 by the Commission and the forms of accounts prescribed by it
20 shall not be inconsistent, in the case of corporations
21 subject to the provisions of the Act of Congress entitled,
22 "An Act to regulate commerce," approved February fourth,
23 eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, and the Acts amendatory
24 thereof and supplementary thereto, with the systems and forms
25 from time to time established for such corporations by the
26 Interstate Commerce Commission, but nothing herein contained
27 shall affect the power of the Commission to prescribe forms
28 of accounts for such corporations, with the approval of the
29 Interstate Commerce Commission, covering information in
30 addition to that required by the Interstate Commerce
31 Commission. Where the Commission has prescribed the forms of
-2- LRB9004190JSfg
1 accounts to be kept by any public utility for any of its
2 business, it shall thereafter be unlawful for such public
3 utility to keep any accounts for such business other than
4 those prescribed or approved by the Commission, or those
5 prescribed by or under the authority of any other state or of
6 the United States.
7 The Commission may, from time to time, alter, amend or
8 repeal, in whole or in part, any uniform system of accounts,
9 or the form and manner of keeping accounts.
