37-1-104. Reorganization of public utility; definition; approval.

(a) No reorganization of a public utility shall take place without prior approval by the public service commission. The commission shall not approve any proposed reorganization if the commission finds, after public notice and opportunity for public hearing, that the reorganization will adversely affect the utility's ability to serve the public.

(b) For purposes of this section, "reorganization" means any transaction which, regardless of the means by which it is accomplished, results in a change in the majority ownership interest or control of a public utility, or the majority ownership interest or control of any entity which owns a majority interest in or controls a public utility. "Reorganization" as used in this section shall not include a mortgage or pledge transaction entered into to secure a bona fide borrowing by the party granting the mortgage or making the pledge.
