HB 1426 -- MISSOURI PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

SPONSOR:  Kraus

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Special
Committee on Utilities by a vote of 10 to 0.

This bill removes the requirement that the Missouri Public
Service Commission prepare an annual economic impact report of
the implementation effects of Section 392.410, RSMo, regarding
certificates of public convenience and necessity by certain
telecommunication companies.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2009, FY 2010, and
FY 2011.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the bill eliminates an
unnecessary reporting requirement on local television services
that is a burden to municipalities.  The Missouri Public Service
Commission does not make use of the reports.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Kraus; Missouri
Public Service Commission; Missouri Association of Municipal
Utilities; and Springfield City Utilities.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
