Section 220 ILCS 5/15-507 - Joint rates and routes(a) Establishment by carriers. Two or more common carriers by pipeline may establish through routes and joint rates, provided that the rates, divisions, and practices relating thereto are just, reasonable, and not discriminatory.(b) Establishment by the Commission.

The Commission shall take this action only after notice and a hearing to consider whether the proposed routes, rates, divisions, and practices are just, reasonable, and not discriminatory, whether a carrier has a reasonable objection to establishment of the routes, rates, divisions, and practices, and whether the objections can be satisfied by imposing reasonable terms and conditions on the application of the routes, rates, divisions, and practices.P.A. 89-42, eff. 1/1/1996.
