(220 ILCS 5/9-251) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 9-251)
Sec. 9-251.
The Commission shall have the power to investigate all existing or
proposed interstate rates or other charges, and classifications, and all
rules and practices in relation thereto, of any public utility, where any
act in relation thereto shall take place within this State; and when the
same are, in the opinion of the Commission, excessive or discriminatory or
in violation of any
Act of Congress, the Commission may apply by petition or
otherwise to any court of
competent jurisdiction for relief.
The Commission shall also have the power, after a hearing had upon its
own motion or upon complaint, to order any public utilities to establish
and fix reasonable and sufficient joint rates or other charges or
classifications. In case such public utilities do not agree upon the
division between them of such joint rates or other charges the Commission
shall, after hearing, establish such division by supplemental order.
