Sec. 13-406. Abandonment of service.
(a) No telecommunications carrier offering or providing
noncompetitive telecommunications service pursuant to a valid
Certificate of Service Authority or certificate of public
convenience and necessity shall discontinue or abandon such
service once initiated until and unless it shall demonstrate,
and the Commission finds, after notice and hearing, that such

10200HB2380ham001 - 2 - LRB102 02861 SPS 23112 a
discontinuance or abandonment will not deprive customers of
any necessary or essential telecommunications service or
access thereto and is not otherwise contrary to the public
interest. No telecommunications carrier offering or providing
competitive telecommunications service shall completely
discontinue or abandon such service to an identifiable class
or group of customers once initiated except upon 60 days
notice to the Commission and affected customers. The
Commission may, upon its own motion or upon complaint,
investigate the proposed discontinuance or abandonment of a
competitive telecommunications service and may, after notice
and hearing, prohibit such proposed discontinuance or
abandonment if the Commission finds that it would be contrary
to the public interest. If the Commission does not provide
notice of a hearing within 60 calendar days after the
notification or holds a hearing and fails to find that the
proposed discontinuation or abandonment would be contrary to
the public interest, the provider may discontinue or abandon
such service after providing at least 30 days' days notice to
affected customers. This Section does not apply to a Large
Electing Provider proceeding under Section 13-406.1.
(b) A Small Electing Provider may choose to cease offering
or providing a telecommunications service pursuant to either
this Section or Section 13-406.1 of this Act in the same manner
as a Large Electing Provider. A Small Electing Provider that
elects to cease offering or providing a telecommunications

10200HB2380ham001 - 3 - LRB102 02861 SPS 23112 a
service pursuant to Section 13-406.1 shall be subject to all
of the provisions that apply to a Large Electing Provider
under Section 13-406.1. In this subsection (b), "Small
Electing Provider" means an incumbent local exchange carrier,
as defined in Section 13-202.5 of this Act, that is an Electing
Provider, as defined in Section 13-506.2 of this Act, and
that, together with all of its incumbent local exchange
carrier affiliates offering telecommunications services within
the State of Illinois, has fewer than 40,000 subscriber access
lines as of January 1, 2020.
