ID Code § 61-1606 (2021)
2021 Idaho Code|Title 61 - PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION|Chapter 16 - UTILITY COST REDUCTION BONDS|Section 61-1606 - COST REDUCTION INSTRUMENTS.

61-1606. COST REDUCTION INSTRUMENTS. (1) Public utilities and assignees may issue and sell cost reduction instruments upon approval by the commission of such action in a cost reduction order. (2) Public utilities and assignees may sell and assign all or portions of their interest in cost reduction property that is the basis for the issuance of cost reduction instruments to the extent approved in the pertinent cost reduction order. To the extent approved in the pertinent cost reduction orders, public utilities and assignees may also pledge cost reduction property as collateral, directly or indirectly, for cost reduction instruments providing for a security interest in the cost reduction property, in the manner as set forth in this chapter. Cost reduction property may also be sold or assigned by: (a) A public utility, an assignee or a trustee for the holders of cost reduction instruments in connection with the exercise of remedies upon a default; or (b) Any person acquiring the cost reduction property after a sale or assignment pursuant to this subsection. (3) To the extent that any interest in cost reduction property is so sold or assigned, or is so pledged as collateral, the commission may authorize the public utility to contract with an assignee that it will continue to operate its system to provide service to its customers, will collect amounts with respect to the cost reduction rates for the benefit and account of the assignee, and will account for and remit these amounts to or for the account of the assignee. Contracting with the assignee in accordance with that authorization shall not impair or negate the characterization of the sale, assignment or pledge as an absolute transfer, a true sale or security interest, as applicable. (4) Upon approval by the commission of a cost reduction order, any issuance of cost reduction instruments approved therein, any related transfer or pledge of cost reduction property and any other transactions incidental to such issuance shall be exempt from the requirements of 61-901 through 61-908, Idaho Code. The commission may include in any cost reduction order any additional approvals that may be required in connection with such issuance under applicable law. (5) An assignee shall not be considered to be an electric or gas corporation solely by virtue of the transactions described in this chapter.  History: [61-1606, added 2005, ch. 372, sec. 1, p. 1190.]

61-1608. TRANSFERS IN INTEREST. (1) A transfer of cost reduction property by a public utility to an assignee, or by an assignee to another assignee, that the parties have in the governing documentation expressly stated to be a sale or other absolute transfer, in a transaction approved in a cost reduction order, shall be treated as an absolute transfer of all of the transferor’s right, title and interest, as in a true sale, and not as a pledge or other financing, of the cost reduction property, in each case notwithstanding any contrary treatment for federal or state income and franchise taxes, accounting or other purposes. (2) A transfer of cost reduction property shall be deemed perfected as against third persons and shall vest title in the transferee when both of the following have taken place: (a) The commission has issued the cost reduction order authorizing the cost reduction rate included in the cost reduction property; and (b) A written assignment of the cost reduction property has been executed and delivered to the transferee. (3) As between bona fide assignees of the same right for value without notice, the assignee first filing a financing statement in accordance with chapter 9, naming the assignor of the cost reduction property as debtor and identifying the cost reduction property has priority. Any description of cost reduction property shall be sufficient if it refers to the cost reduction order creating the cost reduction property. A copy of the financing statement shall be filed by the assignee with the commission, and the commission may require the assignor or the assignee to make other filings with respect to the transfer in accordance with procedures it may establish, but these filings shall not affect the perfection of the transfer. (4) The interest of an assignee or pledgee in cost reduction property and in the revenues and collections arising from such property are not subject to set-off, counterclaim, surcharge or defense by the public utility or any other person or in connection with the bankruptcy of the public utility or any other person.
