AN ACT
To amend chapter 387, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to rates and charges of motor common carriers of household goods.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 387, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 387.075, to read as follows:
387.075. 1. Notwithstanding any provision of chapter 390, RSMo, chapter 622, RSMo, or this chapter to the contrary, any common carrier that is authorized to transport household goods by a certificate issued under section 390.051, RSMo, may file one or more applications to the state highways and transportation commission for approval of rate schedules, applicable to that carrier's intrastate transportation of household goods, that authorize periodic rate adjustments outside of general rate proceedings to reflect increases and decreases in the carrier's prudently incurred costs of providing transportation of property by motor vehicle. The filing of applications by common carriers under this section shall be authorized upon the same terms and conditions as provided in section 386.266, RSMo, with reference to the filing of applications to the public service commission by an electrical, gas, or water corporation. These applications shall be made in such form, and shall contain such information, as the state highways and transportation commission reasonably may require.
2. Notwithstanding any provision of chapter 390, RSMo, chapter 622, RSMo, or this chapter to the contrary, the state highways and transportation commission shall consider and determine every application filed under subsection 1 of this section, upon the same terms and conditions as provided in section 386.266, RSMo, with reference to the public service commission's consideration and determination of applications by an electrical, gas, or water corporation under that section.
3. In proceedings under this section, common carriers and the state highways and transportation commission shall be governed by the statutes and rules of practice and procedure that are applicable in motor carrier proceedings under this chapter and chapters 390 and 622, RSMo, except to the extent they are inconsistent with the requirements of this section. The statutes and rules that generally govern public service commission proceedings relating to electrical, gas, and water corporations shall not apply in proceedings under this section.
