AN ACT MODERNIZING THE STATE'S TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAWS.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. Section 16-32 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
Each public service company, except (1) telegraph companies and express companies subject to the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission or its successor agency, and (2) telephone companies, community antenna television companies, certified competitive video service providers and holders of a certificate of cable franchise authority owned, directly or indirectly, by a parent company, the accounts and operations of which are required to be audited annually in accordance with federal law, shall have an annual comprehensive audit and report made of its accounts and operations by independent public accountants satisfactory to the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. A copy of such annual audit report shall be filed with the authority, together with the company's annual report. In the absence of such an audit report, or if the authority, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, determines that such audit report is insufficient or unsatisfactory, the authority shall cause such an audit to be made at the expense of the company either by independent public accountants satisfactory to the authority or by any staff of the authority engaged in the activities contemplated by subsection (b) of section 16-8. The authority may require additional information regarding the accounts and operations of a telephone company, community antenna television company, certified competitive video service provider or holder of a certificate of cable franchise authority, which is otherwise exempt from the audit required pursuant to this section, that the authority has determined is necessary to carry out the authority's obligations. The authority may waive the compliance with the provisions of this section by any public service company whose annual gross income is less than one hundred thousand dollars. Nothing in this section shall modify or limit the authority's power to conduct a management audit or otherwise exercise its authority under section 16-8.

Sec. 3. Section 16-247b of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) On petition or its own motion, the authority shall initiate a proceeding to unbundle a telephone company's network, services and functions that are used to provide telecommunications services and which the authority determines, after notice and hearing, are in the public interest, are consistent with federal law and are technically feasible of being tariffed and offered separately or in combinations. Any telecommunications services, functions and unbundled network elements and any combination thereof shall be offered under tariff at rates, terms and conditions that do not unreasonably discriminate among actual and potential users and actual and potential providers of such local network services.
(b) Each telephone company shall provide reasonable nondiscriminatory access and pricing to all telecommunications services, functions and unbundled network elements and any combination thereof necessary to provide telecommunications services to customers. The authority shall determine the rates that a telephone company charges for telecommunications services, functions and unbundled network elements and any combination thereof, that are necessary for the provision of telecommunications services. The rates for interconnection and unbundled network elements and any combination thereof shall be based on their respective forward looking long-run incremental costs, and shall be consistent with the provisions of 47 USC 252(d).
[(c) (1) The rate that a telephone company charges for a competitive or emerging competitive telecommunications service shall not be less than the sum of (A) the rate charged to another telecommunications company for a noncompetitive or emerging competitive local network service function used by that company to provide a competing telecommunications service, and (B) the applicable incremental costs of the telephone company.
(2) On and after the date the authority certifies a telephone company's operations support systems interface pursuant to section 16-247n, the authority shall, upon petition, conduct a contested case proceeding to consider whether modification or removal of the pricing standard set forth in subdivision (1) of this subsection for a telecommunications service deemed competitive pursuant to section 16-247f is appropriate. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (1) of this subsection, if the authority determines that such a modification or removal is appropriate and is consistent with the goals set forth in section 16-247a, the authority shall so modify or remove said pricing standard for such telecommunications service.
(3) Prior to the date that the authority certifies a telephone company's operations support systems interface pursuant to section 16-247n, the authority may, upon petition, conduct a contested case proceeding to consider whether modification or removal of the pricing standard set forth in subdivision (1) of this subsection for a telecommunications service deemed competitive pursuant to section 16-247f is appropriate. Any petition filed pursuant to this subdivision shall specify the geographic area in which the applicant proposes to modify or remove such pricing standard. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (1) of this subsection, if the authority determines that such modification or removal is appropriate, is consistent with the goals set forth in section 16-247a and facilities-based competition exists in the relevant geographic area, the authority shall so modify or remove said pricing standard for such telecommunications service. In determining whether facilities-based competition exists in the relevant geographic area, the authority shall consider:
(A) The number, size and geographic distribution of other providers of service;
(B) The availability of functionally equivalent services in the relevant geographic area at competitive rates, terms and conditions;
(C) The financial viability of each company providing functionally equivalent services in the relevant geographic market;
(D) The existence of barriers to entry into, or exit from, the relevant geographic market;
(E) Other indicators of market power that the authority deems relevant, which may include, but not be limited to, market penetration and the extent to which the applicant can sustain the price for the service above the cost to the company of providing the service in the relevant geographic area;
(F) The extent to which other telecommunications companies must rely upon the noncompetitive services of the applicant to provide their telecommunications services and carrier access rates charged by the applicant;
(G) Other factors that may affect competition; and
(H) Other factors that may affect the public interest.]
[(d)] (c) A telephone company shall not use the revenues, expenses, costs, assets, liabilities or other resources derived from or associated with providing a noncompetitive service to subsidize the provision of competitive, emerging competitive or unregulated telecommunications services by such telephone company or any affiliate that is a certified telecommunications provider.
Sec. 4. Section 16-247f of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) The authority shall regulate the provision of telecommunications services in the state in a manner designed to foster competition and protect the public interest.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 16-19, the following telecommunications services shall be deemed competitive services: (1) A telecommunications service offered on or before July 1, 1994, by a certified telecommunications provider and a wide area telephone service, "800" service, centrex service or digital centrex service offered by a telephone company, (2) a telecommunications service offered to business customers by a telephone company, (3) a home office service offered by a telephone company, and (4) a telecommunications service provided by a telephone company to a residential customer who subscribes to two or more [telephone company] services, including basic local exchange service, broadband services, any vertical feature or interstate toll provided by a telephone company affiliate, or toll services provided by another carrier. Unless reclassified pursuant to this section, any other service offered by a telephone company on or before July 1, 1994, shall be deemed a noncompetitive service, provided such initial classification shall not be a factual finding that such service is noncompetitive. [Notwithstanding subdivision (3) of subsection (c) of section 16-247b, prior to January 1, 2010, a telephone company shall not obtain a waiver from the authority of the pricing standard set forth in subdivision (1) of subsection (c) of section 16-247b for any service reclassified as competitive pursuant to subdivision (2), (3) or (4) of this subsection.]
(c) On petition [,] or on its own motion, [or in conjunction with a tariff investigation conducted pursuant to subsection (f) of this section,] after notice and hearing, and within ninety days of receipt of a petition or its motion or within the time period set forth in subsection (f) of this section, as applicable, the authority may reclassify a telecommunications service as competitive, emerging competitive or noncompetitive, in accordance with the degree of competition which exists for that service in the marketplace, provided (1) a competitive service shall not be reclassified as an emerging competitive service, and (2) the authority may extend the period (A) before the end of the ninety-day period and upon notifying all parties to the proceedings by thirty days, or (B) in accordance with the provisions of subsection (f) of this section, as applicable.
(d) In determining whether to reclassify a telecommunications service, the authority shall consider:
(1) The number, size and geographic distribution of certified telecommunications providers of the service, provided the authority shall not reclassify any service as competitive if such service is available only from a telephone company or an affiliate of a telephone company that is a certified telecommunications provider;
(2) The availability of functionally equivalent services in the relevant geographic area at competitive rates, terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, services offered by certified telecommunications providers, providers of commercial mobile radio services, as defined in 47 CFR 20.3, voice over Internet protocol providers and other services provided by means of alternative technologies;
(3) The existence of barriers to entry into, or exit from, the relevant market;
(4) Other factors that may affect competition; and
(5) Other factors that may affect the public interest.
(e) On or after July 1, 2013, any certified telecommunications provider or telephone company may, upon written notice to the authority, elect to be exempt from any requirement to file or maintain with the authority any tariff for competitive or emerging competitive intrastate telecommunications services offered or provided to residential or business retail end-users and, instead, shall make the terms and conditions for those services available to such end-users in a customer service guide or in such other manner determined by such provider or company providing such services. A copy of the customer service guide or other listing of terms and conditions shall be filed annually with the authority. The tariff requirements for noncompetitive services, including for noncompetitive residential basic local exchange service, shall remain in effect.
[(e) Each] (f) Except for a certified telecommunications provider or telephone company that elects to be exempt from filing or maintaining tariffs for a competitive or emerging competitive intrastate service pursuant to subsection (e) of this section, each certified telecommunications provider and each telephone company shall file with the authority a new or amended tariff for each competitive or emerging competitive intrastate telecommunications service authorized pursuant to section 16-247c. A tariff for a competitive service shall be effective on five days' written notice to the authority. A tariff for an emerging competitive service shall be effective on twenty-one days' written notice to the authority. A tariff filing for a competitive or emerging competitive service shall include (1) rates and charges which may consist of a maximum rate and a minimum rate, (2) applicable terms and conditions, (3) a statement of how the tariff will benefit the public interest, and (4) any additional information required by the authority. A telephone company filing a tariff pursuant to this section shall include in said tariff filing the information set forth in subdivisions (1) to (4), inclusive, of this subsection, a complete explanation of how the company is complying with the provisions of section 16-247b, as amended by this act, and, in a tariff filing which declares a new service to be competitive or emerging competitive, a statement addressing the considerations set forth in subsection (d) of this section. If the authority approves a tariff which consists of a minimum rate and a maximum rate, the certified telecommunications provider or telephone company may amend its rates upon five days' written notice to the authority and any notice to customers which the authority may require, provided the amended rates are not greater than the approved maximum rate and not less than the approved minimum rate. A promotional offering for a previously approved competitive or emerging competitive tariffed service or a service deemed competitive pursuant to this section shall be effective on three business days' written notice to the authority. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent retail end-users from seeking assistance of the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority with regard to billing or service issues with a certified telecommunications provider or telephone company.
[(f)] (g) On petition or its own motion, the authority may investigate a tariff or any portion of a tariff, which investigation may include a hearing. The authority may suspend a tariff or any portion of a tariff during such investigation. The investigation may include, but is not limited to, an inquiry to determine whether the tariff is predatory, deceptive, anticompetitive or violates the pricing standard set forth in subdivision (1) of subsection (c) of section 16-247b, as amended by this act. Not later than seventy-five days after the effective date of the tariff, unless the party filing the tariff, all statutory parties to the proceeding and the authority agree to a specific extension of time, the authority shall issue its decision, including whether to approve, modify or deny the tariff. If the authority determines that a tariff filed as a new service is, in fact, a reclassification of an existing service, the authority shall review the tariff filing as a petition for reclassification in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this section.
[(g) The provisions of this section shall not prohibit the authority from ordering different tariff filing procedures or effective dates for an emerging competitive service, pursuant to a plan for an alternative form of regulation of a telephone company approved by the authority in accordance with the provisions of section 16-247k.]
Sec. 5. Section 16-247m of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) On and after July 1, [2001] 2013, a telephone company may [apply to the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to] withdraw from the retail provision of a telecommunications service, upon sixty days' notice to the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, provided such telecommunications service [has been deemed] is a competitive [pursuant to section 16-247f prior to the date such application is submitted] service, as defined in subdivision (2) of subsection (b) of 16-247a, as amended by this act. Any such [application] notice shall (1) specify [(1)] (A) the service that the telephone company no longer wishes to provide, [(2)] and (B) the geographic area or areas in which the telephone company proposes to no longer provide the service, [and (3) the number of customers of the telephone company that will be affected by the proposed withdrawal and a discussion of ways to mitigate such impact] and (2) include a copy of the notice to customers of such withdrawal that the telephone company intends to provide pursuant to this subsection. The telephone company shall provide such notice to customers at least thirty days in advance of such withdrawal. Such notice to customers shall include a description of the impact of such withdrawal on such customers and alternative service options for such customers, if applicable.
[(b) In considering any application by a telephone company pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the authority shall consider (1) the impact the proposed withdrawal will have on the goals set forth in section 16-247a, (2) the impact the proposed withdrawal will have on the financial, managerial and technical ability of the telephone company to provide other retail and wholesale telecommunications services and the quality of such services, (3) the impact the proposed withdrawal will have on the rates paid by retail customers for the service that the telephone company no longer wishes to provide at retail, (4) the impact the proposed withdrawal will have on the retail availability of such service, and (5) the impact the proposed withdrawal will have on the ability of certified telecommunications providers to provide a functionally equivalent service at retail. The authority shall not approve any such application for withdrawal unless it finds that such withdrawal (A) is consistent with the goals set forth in section 16-247a, and (B) is not contrary to the public interest. The authority shall not approve any such application or authorize the withdrawal of a telephone company from the provision of a telecommunications service at retail unless the service that the telephone company no longer wishes to provide has been deemed competitive pursuant to section 16-247f. The authority, in approving any such application, shall develop a method to allow customers receiving such service from the telephone company to choose a new provider of such service, provided the authority shall not order the allocation or assignment of any customer.
(c) Any proceeding conducted pursuant to this section shall be considered a contested case, as defined in section 4-166.
(d) The provisions of this section shall not (1) preclude the withdrawal of a competitive or an emerging competitive tariff pursuant to section 16-247f, (2) preclude a telephone company from withdrawing a noncompetitive service in the normal course of business, or (3) apply to any certified telecommunications provider or any telephone company serving fewer than seventy-five thousand customers.]
(b) A telephone company may not withdraw a noncompetitive service without following the regulations or orders of the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority and the processes for investigation of a tariff filing pursuant to subsection (g) of section 16-247f, as amended by this act.
Sec. 6. Section 16-247p of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) Not later than April 1, 2000, the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority shall, by regulations adopted pursuant to chapter 54, establish quality-of-service standards that shall apply to all noncompetitive services, as defined in subdivision (4) of subsection (b) of section 16-247a, as amended by this act, offered by telephone companies and certified telecommunications providers. [and to all telecommunications services.] Such standards shall include, but not be limited to, measures relating to customer trouble reports, service outages, installation appointments and repeat problems as well as timeliness in responding to complaints or reports. The authority shall include with the quality of service standards methodologies for monitoring compliance with and enforcement of such standards. Such monitoring shall include input from employees of telephone companies and certified telecommunications providers, including members of collective bargaining units.
(b) Not later than April 1, 2000, the authority shall, by regulations adopted pursuant to chapter 54, establish comprehensive performance standards and performance based reporting requirements for functions provided by a telephone company to a certified telecommunications provider, including, but not limited to, telephone company performance relating to customer ordering, preordering, provisioning, billing, maintenance and repair. Such service standards shall be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that a telephone company meets its obligations under 47 USC 251. Such regulations may also contain provisions the authority deems necessary to prevent anticompetitive actions by any telephone company or certified telecommunications provider.
Sec. 7. Section 16-256k of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
Each telephone company, as defined in section 16-1, and each certified telecommunications provider, as defined in said section 16-1, shall clearly and conspicuously disclose, in writing, to customers, upon subscription and annually thereafter, (1) whether the removal or change in any telecommunications service will result in the loss of a discount or other change in the rate charged for any telecommunications service subscribed to or used by the customer; and (2) for any promotional offering filed on and after October 1, 2002, with the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority pursuant to subsection [(e)] (f) of section 16-247f, as amended by this act, that the offering is a promotion and will be in effect for a limited period of time.

(a) In the performance of their duties the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority and the Office of Consumer Counsel may retain consultants to assist their staffs in proceedings before the authority by providing expertise in areas in which staff expertise does not currently exist or when necessary to supplement existing staff expertise. In any case where the authority or Office of Consumer Counsel determines that the services of a consultant are necessary or desirable, the authority shall (1) allow opportunity for the parties and participants to the proceeding for which the services of a consultant are being considered to comment regarding the necessity or desirability of such services, (2) upon the request of a party or participant to the proceeding for which the services of a consultant are being considered, hold a hearing, and (3) limit the reasonable and proper expenses for such services to not more than two hundred thousand dollars for each agency per proceeding involving a public service company, telecommunications company, electric supplier or person seeking certification to provide telecommunications services pursuant to chapter 283, with more than fifteen thousand customers, and to not more than fifty thousand dollars for each agency per proceeding involving such a company, electric supplier or person with less than fifteen thousand customers, provided the authority or the Office of Consumer Counsel may exceed such limits for good cause.

All reasonable and proper expenses, as defined in subdivision (3) of this section, shall be borne by the affected company, electric supplier or person and shall be paid by such company, electric supplier or person at such times and in such manner as the authority or the Office of Consumer Counsel directs. All reasonable and proper costs and expenses, as defined in subdivision (3) of this section, shall be recognized by the authority for all purposes as proper business expenses of the affected company, electric supplier or person. The providers of consultant services shall be selected by the authority or the Office of Consumer Counsel and shall submit written findings and recommendations to the authority or the Office of Consumer Counsel, as the case may be, which shall be made part of the public record.
Sec. 9. Section 16-247j of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority shall adopt such regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, as necessary to carry out the provisions of section 16-247c and sections 16-247f to [16-247i] 16-247h, inclusive, as amended by this act.
