What is the ICC?

The Illinois Commerce Commission is a quasi-judicial tribunal that regulates public utility services in the U.S. state of Illinois. The mission of the ICC is “to pursue an appropriate balance between the interest of consumers and existing and emerging service providers to ensure the provision of adequate, efficient, reliable, safe and least-cost public utility services.”^[1] The most visible part of this mission is the setting of rates and charges for service by public utilities. (For the ICC, the term “public utility” includes private companies serving the public, but not municipal utilities that are, in a sense, owned by the public.) Examples of utility types regulated by the ICC include electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, and sewer. The ICC also regulates certain transportation activities, including railroad safety, towing, trucking, and household goods moving.^[2] (Source: Wikipedia)

What does it mean if a moving company is not authorized?

That means that they are not following the guidelines set forth by the ICC to protect consumers. This is a long and rigorous process that takes months for a prospective moving company to complete.Wha
