HB 2053 -- Telecommunications Practices Sponsor: Rector This bill modifies one of the options for setting the maximum allowable charges for exchange access and basic local telecommunications services for incumbent local exchange telecommunications companies. If the change in the telephone service component of the federal Consumer Price Index is negative for the previous year, companies may request a waiver from the Missouri Public Service Commission to allow the existing maximum allowable charges to remain in place until the next annual adjustment. Any savings from a reduction waiver must be used for purposes which have been approved by the commission.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
