Title 15 › CHAPTER 59 — RETAIL POLICIES FOR NATURAL GAS UTILITIES › § 3210
Summary
State and nonregulated gas utility proceedings started before November 9, 1978, and any steps already taken in them, count as meeting the chapter’s rules if they largely match those rules. If a proceeding began before November 9, 1978 but was not finished by that date, the part done after that date must follow the chapter’s rules as much as possible.
