Transmitting Utility Act

The Transmitting Utility Act addresses transmitting utilities — enterprises engaged in transmitting or distributing things such as electricity, gas, water, steam, communications, or goods moved by pipeline — and the formalities that attach to them under state law. Its core mechanisms are a definitional provision fixing which enterprises fall within that category and a set of filing requirements governing how the relevant instruments must be submitted and maintained. It is framed as supplemental legislation, adding to the existing statutory scheme rather than displacing it, so general law continues to control on anything the act does not itself address.
