Text

The general assembly hereby finds and
declares that cooperative electric associations which are owned by the member-consumers they serve are regulated by the member-consumers themselves acting
through an elected governing body. It is further declared that the regulation by the
public utilities commission under the Public Utilities Law, articles 1 to 7 of this
title, may be duplicative of the self-regulation by the association and may be
neither necessary nor cost-effective. It is therefore the purpose of this part 1 to
determine the necessity of regulation by the public utilities commission by allowing
cooperative electric associations to exempt themselves from regulation by the
public utilities commission.
