Various provisions governing telephone company regulation, facilities and property, pricing plans, service classification, and reporting requirements.

Summary

The legislation revises several sections of Minnesota’s telecommunications statutes, giving telephone carriers broader exemptions from rate‑of‑return investigations and limiting the commission’s authority over them. It also removes many exemptions for coin‑operated phones, adds a requirement that carriers enable lawful law‑enforcement interceptions, and simplifies annual reporting for most carriers while keeping basic reporting for local exchange carriers. The changes aim to modernize regulation, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure public safety access.
