TO PROVIDE THAT THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION SHALL REQUIRE COUNTYWIDE TOLL-FREE CALLING TO BE PROVIDED BY ALL TELEPHONE UTILITIES OPERATING WITHIN CHEROKEE COUNTY BY JULY 1, 2007, AND PROVIDE FOR RELATED MATTERS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. (A) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the Public Service Commission shall require countywide toll-free calling to be provided by all telephone utilities operating within Cherokee County by July 1, 2007. Where two or more telephone utilities operate in Cherokee County, each telephone utility shall provide countywide toll-free calling to and from telephones within the area served by the other telephone utility or telephone utilities in Cherokee County.
(B) The commission shall require telephone utilities to enter into negotiations to provide for countywide toll-free calling throughout their service areas.
