 1        AN ACT to amend the  Public  Utilities  Act  by  changing
 2    Section 13-402.

 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
 6    changing Section 13-402 as follows:

 7        (220 ILCS 5/13-402) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 13-402)
 8        (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2001)
 9        Sec.  13-402.   Waiver  or  modification  of  rules.  The
10    Commission is authorized, in connection with the issuance  or
11    modification   of  a  Certificate  of  Interexchange  Service
12    Authority or the modification  of  a  certificate  of  public
13    convenience      and      necessity     for     interexchange
14    telecommunications  service,   to   waive   or   modify   the
15    application  of  its  rules,  general  orders, procedures, or
16    notice requirements when that such  action  will  reduce  the
17    economic   burdens   of   regulation   and   such  waiver  or
18    modification is not inconsistent with the law or the purposes
19    and policies of this Article.
20        Any  such  waiver  or   modification   granted   to   any
21    interexchange  telecommunications  carrier  which has, or any
22    group of such carriers any one of which has  annual  revenues
23    exceeding  $10,000,000  shall  be automatically applied fully
24    and  equally  to  all  such  carriers  with  annual  revenues
25    exceeding  $10,000,000  unless  the  Commission  specifically
26    finds, after notice to all such carriers and a hearing,  that
27    restricting the application of such waiver or modification to
28    only  one  such  carrier  or  some  group of such carriers is
29    consistent with and would promote the purposes  and  policies
30    of  this  Article  and  the  protection of telecommunications
31    customers.
