Authority to adopt rules and regulations
Source:
Section 756.060 — Authority to adopt rules and regulations, https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors756.html.
Notes of Decisions
Public Utility Commissioner’s rule, which passed on utility expenses for payment of county’s net business income tax to county ratepayers only, rather than to all ratepayers, was valid because Commissioner is granted both broad regulatory authority over rates by ORS 756.040 and broad rulemaking authority by this section. Multnomah County v. Davis, 35 Or App 521, 581 P2d 968 (1978), Sup Ct review denied
This section does not constitute clearly defined statutory grant of authority to Public Utility Commissioner for enactment of “tagline” rule which requires public utilities to tag their advertisements with statement that advertisement is paid for by either customers or stockholders. Pacific Northwest Bell v. Davis, 43 Or App 999, 608 P2d 547 (1979), Sup Ct review denied
