Sec. 12. (a) An eligible utility that is not collecting a system integrity adjustment may file with the commission a petition setting forth rate schedules that establish a system integrity adjustment to recover from or credit to customers the eligible utility's adjustment amount. The petition must establish that the eligible utility's system integrity collar has been satisfied on a cumulative basis following the effective date of the commission's order in the eligible utility's most recent general rate case. The eligible utility's system integrity collar may not be included in the calculation of its adjustment amount. The eligible utility shall certify in the petition that the eligible utility will use any adjustment revenues for eligible infrastructure improvements (as defined in IC 8-1-31-5).
(b) An eligible utility shall serve the office of the utility consumer counselor a copy of the petition at the same time the petition is filed with the commission. The office of the utility consumer counselor may do the following:
(1) Examine information of the eligible utility to confirm proper calculation of the proposed system integrity adjustment.
(2) Submit a report of the examination to the commission not later than thirty (30) days after the petition is filed.
(c) The commission shall hold a hearing on the petition and issue its order not later than ninety (90) days after the petition is filed.
(d) If the commission determines that the system integrity adjustment is properly calculated, the commission shall enter an order approving the petition. The system integrity adjustment may be collected until the earlier of the following:
(1) Forty-eight (48) months after the date set forth in the order entered under this subsection on which the eligible utility may begin collecting the system integrity adjustment.
(2) The date on which the commission issues an order in the eligible utility's next general rate case proceeding.
