The law bans public utilities from giving unfair rate or service advantages to any person or place. Utilities must charge the same price for the same service when conditions are the same or similar. A utility can use a reasonable contract or sliding price scale only if its franchise allows it and the Public Service Commission approves it. No such contract or sliding scale is legal until it is filed with and approved by the commission.
The law repeals three state rules for freight carriers. It removes statutes on permissible discrimination, long-and-short haul pricing, and freight pooling. If you run a carrier or ship goods in North Dakota, the legal standards that applied to you change. Those repealed sections no longer control these practices.
