ruling. Such a petition may include a request to determine whether newly created services,
and other services not specifically mentioned by the definition of telecommunications
service in this chapter, are telecommunications service. All services declared to
be telecommunications service shall thereafter be subject to the charge imposed by
subchapter 3 of this chapter.
(b) By rule or general order, the Department of Public Service may adopt procedures and
standards to implement its responsibilities under this chapter. To the extent applicable,

the fiscal agent. (Added 1993, No. 197 (Adj. Sess.), § 5; amended 2015, No. 41, § 26, eff. June 1, 2015.)
