COMMISSION MAY NOT OVERBURDEN.

The commission may not, by a rule or regulatory practice adopted under this chapter, impose on a nondominant telecommunications utility a greater regulatory burden than is imposed on: (1) a holder of a certificate of convenience and necessity serving the same area; or (2) a deregulated company, as defined by Section 65.002, that: (A) has 500,000 or more access lines in service at the time it becomes a deregulated company; or (B) serves an area also served by the nondominant telecommunications utility.
