(b) A city with a franchise fee or privilege tax in effect on July 1, 1999, that was less than five percent shall not establish a volumetric rate for any customer class of the distribution utility in an amount in excess of the city’s 1999 franchise fee or privilege tax rate times the 1999 gross revenue of any electric utility within the city from the customer class divided by the amount of electric energy in kilowatt hours delivered to the customer class in 1999, except following a hearing with notice and opportunity for public comment.
(3) Subject to the limitations established in subsection (2) of this section, once a city has established volumetric rates for the purpose of calculating the privilege tax under this section, any subsequent change in the volumetric rates shall be applied on an equal percentage basis to all customer classes.
