ID Code § 61-802 (2021)
2021 Idaho Code|Title 61 - PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION|Chapter 8 - STRAY CURRENT AND VOLTAGE REMEDIATION ACT|Section 61-802 - DEFINITIONS.

61-802. DEFINITIONS. As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires: (1) "Adequate remediation" means corrective action by a utility which results in, and is reasonably likely to sustain, a reduction of stray current or voltage attributable to the utility’s distribution system of fifty percent (50%) or less of the preventive action level. (2) "Commission" means the Idaho public utilities commission as established pursuant to section 61-201, Idaho Code. (3) "Cow contact points" means any two (2) electrically conductive points which a dairy cow may, in its normal environment, unavoidably and simultaneously contact. (4) "Preventive action level" is stray current or voltage that is either: (a) A steady-state, root mean square (rms), alternating current (AC) of 2.0 milliamp (mA) or more through a 500 ohm resistor connected between cow contact points, as measured by a true rms meter; or (b) A steady-state, rms, AC voltage of 1.0 volts or more, across (in parallel with) a 500 ohm resistor connected between cow contact points, as measured by a true rms meter. (5) "Steady-state" is the value of a current or voltage after an amount of time where all transients have decayed to a negligible value. (6) "Stray current or voltage" is: (a) Any steady-state, 60 hertz (Hz) (including harmonics thereof), root mean square (rms), alternating current (AC) of less than 20 milliamp (mA) through a 500 ohm resistor connected between cow contact points, as measured by a true rms meter; or (b) Any steady-state, 60 Hz (including harmonics thereof), rms, AC voltage of less than 10 volts, across (in parallel with) a 500 ohm resistor connected between cow contact points, as measured by a true rms meter. Stray current or voltage is a normal, inherent and unavoidable result of electricity traveling through grounded electrical systems, including a dairy producer’s on-farm system and a utility’s distribution system, which systems are required by the national electrical code and the national electrical safety code to be grounded to the earth to ensure continuous safety and reliability. (7) "Utility" means a public utility as defined in section 61-332A, Idaho Code.  History: [61-802, added 2005, ch. 189, sec. 1, p. 578.]
ID Code § 61-803 (2021)
2021 Idaho Code|Title 61 - PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION|Chapter 8 - STRAY CURRENT AND VOLTAGE REMEDIATION ACT|Section 61-803 - RULES.

61-803. RULES. Within six (6) months of the effective date of this chapter, the commission shall promulgate temporary rules and proposed rules, referred to collectively in this chapter as "commission rules," establishing uniform procedures and protocols for the measurement of stray current or voltage. The commission shall review the rules from time to time, or upon petition to the commission, to ensure that the uniform procedures and protocols continue to be the most scientifically and technologically accurate and reliable means of detecting stray current or voltage. If the commission determines that it is appropriate to revise the rules because of advances in science or technology, it is encouraged to do so by the adoption of temporary rules which would confer a benefit on utilities and dairy producers by making better science available for the measurement of stray current or voltage. Any measurements of stray current or voltage not made in compliance with commission rules shall be inadmissible before the commission or in any civil action. The commission rules shall be applicable to dairy producers, utilities, and all persons or entities involved in any way in the measurement or remediation of stray current or voltage in this state.

2021 Idaho Code|Title 61 - PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION|Chapter 8 - STRAY CURRENT AND VOLTAGE REMEDIATION ACT|Section 61-804 - CLAIM — NOTICE — RESPONSE OF UTILITY.

61-804. CLAIM — NOTICE — RESPONSE OF UTILITY. Any dairy producer in this state who claims that its dairy cows are being affected by any form or type of electrical energy allegedly attributable to a utility including, without limitation, stray current or voltage, shall, as a condition precedent to commencing any civil action against the utility, provide written notice thereof to the utility. The notice shall specify why the dairy producer believes its dairy cows are being affected by electrical energy attributable to the utility. Within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such notice, the utility shall take measurements at cow contact points at the dairy producer’s dairy to identify the existence and magnitude of stray current or voltage, if any. If the utility finds a level of stray current or voltage at cow contact points in excess of the preventive action level, the utility shall thereafter promptly identify that portion, if any, of the stray current or voltage that is attributable to the utility’s distribution system. If that portion of the stray current or voltage at cow contact points attributable to the utility’s distribution system exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the preventive action level, the utility shall, within five (5) business days, commence and diligently pursue to completion, remedial procedures which shall reduce, and are reasonably likely to sustain, that portion of the stray current or voltage at cow contact points attributable to the utility’s distribution system to fifty percent (50%) or less of the preventive action level.

61-1004. DUTIES OF COMMISSION — FEES — DETERMINATION — MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM FEES. On or before April 15th of each year the commission shall determine the proportionate assessment that all railroad corporations, and all other public utilities subject to the jurisdiction of the commission, shall bear to the amount which will be required to defray the expense of the commission for supervision and regulation of such railroad corporations and other public utilities during the ensuing fiscal year; such determination shall be based upon a consideration of the time and expense devoted to the supervision and regulation of each such class of railroad corporations and other public utilities during the preceding calendar year, including salaries and wages of the commissioners and employees and all other necessary and lawful expenditures of the commission. Thereupon the commission shall apportion the assessment thus determined to be required of all railroad corporations and all other public utilities, to each such class thereof, respectively, in proportion to their respective gross operating revenues derived from intrastate utility business in Idaho for the preceding calendar year, except that the maximum fee payable shall not exceed: (1) In the case of railroad corporations, one percent (1%) of the gross operating revenues derived from the intrastate utility business of each railroad corporation; and (2) In the case of all other public utilities except pipeline corporations, three-tenths (3/10) of one percent (1%) of the gross operating revenues derived from the intrastate utility business of each such public utility. (3) In the case of pipeline corporations, the fee payable shall be calculated to recover the commission’s time and expense devoted to the safety supervision and regulation of each pipeline corporation. (4) In no case shall the fee be less than fifty dollars ($50.00). (5) The commission shall make such assessment of the fees so determined by orders duly made and entered on its minutes.
