• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 37: Public Utilities
• Ch. 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS

Text

(a) Every applicant for approval of a reorganization by
the public service commission under this act shall pay a filing
fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each application and
ten dollars ($10.00) plus ten cents ($.10) per page for every
amendment to any application. These fees shall be deposited in
the general fund. In addition the applicant shall reimburse the
state for the expenses of the state in reviewing and acting upon
each application and defending any public service commission
decision in case of legal appeal. The expenses of the state
shall not be deemed to include the normal salary and benefits of
the public service commissioners but shall include substantially
all other actual expenses of the state in connection with the
application. The public service commission may require the
applicant to post a bond or make a prepayment to assure the
required reimbursement. No charge for expenses in connection
with any application under this act may be included in the rates
charged to Wyoming customers. The reimbursements collected
pursuant to this section shall be deposited in a separate
account and may be expended by the public service commission
following appropriations by the legislature.
(b) No charge for any expenses of any reorganization shall
be included in the rate base of any Wyoming public utility.
