(2)
Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, no change shall be made by any
utility in any rate except upon thirty (30) days' notice to the commission, stating
plainly the changes proposed to be made and the time when the changed rates will
go into effect. However, the commission may, in its discretion, based upon a
showing of good cause in any case, shorten the notice period from thirty (30) days
to a period of not less than twenty (20) days. The commission may order a rate
change only after giving an identical notice to the utility. The commission may
order the utility to give notice of its proposed rate increase to that utility's customers
in the manner set forth in its regulations.
The commission, upon application of any utility, may prescribe a less time within
which a reduction of rates may be made.
