2 Section 13-507.1.
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 adding
6 Section 13-507.1 as follows:
7 (220 ILCS 5/13-507.1 new)
8 Sec. 13-507. Repricing of certain charges. After
9 December 31, 1998, no telecommunications carrier that
10 provides both competitive and noncompetitive
11 telecommunications services may impose a carrier common line
12 charge, a residual interconnection charge or transport
13 interconnection charge, a line termination charge, a
14 presubscribed interexchange carrier charge, an information
15 surcharge, or any other charge for any switched access
16 service that is not based on the incremental cost of
17 providing the switched access service. Any such charge
18 eliminated by a telecommunications carrier may not be
19 reinstated, exchanged, replaced, or substituted by other
20 charges. Any remaining charges for any switched access
21 service provided by a telecommunications carrier that
22 provides both competitive and noncompetitive
23 telecommunications services shall be based solely on the
24 direct incremental cost of providing the switched access
25 service. A telecommunications carrier whose expenditures for
26 switched access services are reduced as a result of actions
27 taken pursuant to this Section shall reduce its intrastate
28 prices in a manner to ensure that the full amount of reduced
29 expenditures is reflected in reduced charges to its
30 intrastate customers.
