7commission from approving the filing of a tariff which permits a gas utility to enter
8into an individual contract with an individual customer if the term of the contract
9is no more than 5 years, or a longer period approved by the commission, and if the
10commission determines that substitute gas services are available to customers or
11potential customers of the gas utility and the absence of such a tariff will cause the
12gas utility to be disadvantaged in competing for business. A tariff filed under this
13subsection section shall include the condition that any such contract shall be
14compensatory. The tariff shall include any other condition and procedure required
15by the commission in the public interest. Within 20 days after a contract authorized
16under this
subsection section or an amendment to such a contract has been executed,
17the gas utility shall submit the contract to the commission. The commission shall
18give notice to any person, upon request, that a contract authorized under this
19subsection section has been received by the commission. The notice shall identify the
20gas utility that has entered into the contract. Within 6 months after receiving
21substantial evidence that a contract may be noncompensatory, or upon its own
22motion, the commission shall investigate and determine whether the contract is
23compensatory. If the commission determines that the contract is noncompensatory,
24the commission may make appropriate adjustments in the rates or tariffs of the gas
25utility that has entered into the contract, in addition to other remedies under this
1chapter. The dollar amount of the adjustment may not be less than the amount by
2which the contract was found to be noncompensatory.".
