Syllabus

¶0 Corporation Commission issued an order preventing certain utilities from billing customers for certain municipal franchise fees and municipal gross receipts taxes by application of the February 2021 Regulated Utility Consumer Protection Act. The City of Oklahoma City appealed. The appeal was retained sua sponte by the Court for appellate review. The Corporation Commission filed a motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was previously denied by the Court. We hold: The Oklahoma Municipal League possesses standing in the controversy; and the Commission's determination that the February 2021 Regulated Utility Consumer Protection Act changed, amended, or altered a utility's legal obligations concerning municipal franchise fees and gross receipts taxes is a determination not sustained by law and must be reversed.
