2005 Minnesota Statutes - 471A.11 — Regulation of rates and charges and public utility laws.

     471A.11 Regulation of rates and charges and public 
  utility laws. 


    A municipality may regulate by ordinance, contract, or 
 otherwise the rates and charges imposed by the private vendor 
 with respect to any capital intensive public services provided 
 to the public under the service contract.  Whether or not the 
 imposition of such rates and charges is so regulated, no capital 
 intensive public services provided under the service contract 
 are subject to regulation under the provisions of chapter 216B, 
 unless the municipality elects to subject the services to 
 regulation under that chapter.  An election for regulation may 
 be made by resolution of the governing body of the municipality 
 requesting regulation and filing the resolution with the state 
 public utilities commission.
