Alaska Public Utilities Regulatory Act

Alaska · Public Utilities and Carriers and Energy Programs · §§ 42.05.141 to 42.05.995 · 153 sections

Overview

The Alaska Public Utilities Regulatory Act governs the state's oversight of public utilities, including telecommunications carriers, through a regulatory commission empowered to set standards of service, review rates and discounted or reduced-rate offerings, and prohibit discrimination in service. It establishes a certification regime under which utilities must obtain a certificate to operate, with provisions for applications, conditions of issuance, transfer, modification, suspension, or revocation, and for discontinuing or abandoning certificated service. The act also lays out the commission's procedural framework — regulations, formal hearings, notice and timelines for final orders, publication of orders and decisions, and annual reporting — along with utility use of municipal public ways, a regulatory cost charge funding oversight, and telecommunications services for certain disabled subscribers.
