Section 5. The Public Utilities Act is amended by
changing Section 13-505.7 as follows:
(220 ILCS 5/13-505.7)
Sec. 13-505.7. Interactive video learning tariffs. The
Commission shall permit telecommunications carriers to offer
special interactive video learning tariffs for the exclusive
use of qualified educational institutions. Except for
carriers subject to Section 13-504, the rates in such tariffs
shall not be less than the long run service incremental costs
of providing interactive video learning services. Qualified
educational institutions shall be limited to school
districts; public or private not-for-profit schools enrolling
more than 20 pupils for kindergarten grade or over up through
grade 12; and public or private degree granting,
not-for-profit colleges or universities; public libraries
organized under the Public Library District Act of 1991 or
the Illinois Local Library Act; and regional library systems
organized under the Illinois Library System Act. Interactive
video learning consists of video, data, voice, and electronic
information used by a qualified educational institution for
instruction, learning, and training. These special
telecommunications carrier interactive video learning tariffs
shall be exempt from the provisions of Sections 9-241, 9-250,
13-502, 13-505.1, and 13-505.2 of this Act. Provided,
however, telecommunications carriers may also file such
special tariffs pursuant to this Section and in accordance
with Section 13-502.
