393.1010. The public service commission, upon application, shall authorize an electric corporation to recover the actual costs incurred by a utility's prudent expenditures for security measures and insurance incurred after September 11, 2001, and reasonably required to comply with requirements or guidelines of the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the North American Reliability Council, the Missouri office of homeland security, and the Missouri public service commission to protect the utility's electric generation, distribution, and transmission assets by periodic adjustment to the utility's customers bills.
