 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 8        (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2001)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.
