Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(220 ILCS 5/16-124)

Sec. 16-124.

Metering for residential and small
commercial retail customers.
An electric utility shall not require a residential or
small commercial retail customer to take additional metering
or metering capability as a condition of taking delivery
services unless the Commission finds, after notice and
hearing, that additional metering or metering capability is
required to meet reliability requirements.  Alternative retail
electric suppliers serving such customers may provide such
additional metering or metering capability at their own
expense or take such additional metering or metering
capability from the utility as a tariffed service.  Any
additional metering requirements shall be imposed in a
nondiscriminatory manner.  Nothing in this subsection shall be
construed to prevent the normal maintenance, replacement or
upgrade of meters as required to comply with Commission rules.
