Requires each public utility providing electric service at retail to file a distributed generation tariff for Commission approval or approval with modification and each municipal utility and cooperative electric association to adopt a distributed generation tariff. Provides that every electric utility shall file with the Commission a distributed generation interconnection report for the preceding calendar year that identifies each distributed generation facility interconnected with the utility's distribution system. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.
