Before provisos: R ≥ SC × [Σ PTB not yet due ÷ Σ all PTB]; earned charge E = SC − R. Minimum earned charge: $15 if P≤$250; $25 if $250<P≤$500; $37.50 if $500<P≤$1,000; $50 if P>$1,000. |
If computed E is below the applicable minimum, statute deems the minimum earned. Refund <$1 need not be made. PTB measured at last day of month/other uniform scheduled interval. Low-original-charge interaction and federal incorporation held; no zero floor, rounding, or negative-credit invention. |
C036–C037; S001 .080; S019 §5. |
