ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Economic Development - Public Service Commission (PSC) state this proposal allows customer specific pricing for certain services. The bill also allows companies to offer special promotions or discounted rates, not only to new and/or former customers, but also existing customers. Companies may need to submit tariff filings to allow the additional customer specific pricing and will have to submit tariffs to allow the promotions and discounted rates. The Commission will review the tariffs outlining these provisions.
PSC is not requesting additional resources due to this proposal.
Officials of the Department of Economic Development - Office of the Public Counsel state this proposal would have no fiscal impact to their agency.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
The proposed legislation would allow customer specific pricing for business customers in certain circumstances. This could potentially have an economic impact on small businesses since they would be able to negotiate individual pricing for their services.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal modifies Section 392.200, RSMo by adding instances where customer-specific pricing is authorized for telecommunication companies. This proposal provides the option for DS-1 related retail services when business services have been classified as competitive pursuant to Subsection 5 of Section 392.245, RSMo.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
