476.71 - PURPOSE.

        476.71  PURPOSE.         It is the intent of the general assembly that a public utility      should not directly or indirectly include in regulated rates or      charges any costs or expenses of an affiliate engaged in any business      other than that of utility business unless the affiliate provides      goods or services to the public utility.  The costs that are included      should be reasonably necessary and appropriate for utility business.      It is also the intent of the general assembly that a public utility      should only provide nonutility services in a manner that minimizes      the possibility of cross-subsidization or unfair competitive      advantage.
