1. (1) Monthly business meetings of the Commission are normally held the first Tuesday of each month and at other times as may be necessary, unless such Monday constitutes a holiday. All matters pending before the Commission, which are ripe for decision or discussion at that time, are brought before the Commissioners each month. The Commission or any Commissioner may introduce matters on its or their own motion and each staff division of the Commission may present any matter appropriate for timely review and/or decision. (Filings or matters for disposition received less than two weeks before a Commission meeting may be held for staff review until the next Commission meeting.) Arguments or evidence will not be received from a party or the public at this time. Unless specifically directed and properly noticed otherwise, such business meetings are held at the offices of the Commission at the RSA Union Building, 100 North Union Street, Montgomery, Alabama, 36104, and are open to the public.

2. (2) If a utility files a matter less than two weeks before a scheduled Commission meeting, for consideration at that meeting, the utility shall certify in writing that it has physically delivered a copy of said filing to the Attorney General's office the same day of filing at the Commission. Urgent matters may be filed no less than five (5) business days before a scheduled Commission meeting. Any responsive filing of the Attorney General's office shall be made at least three (3) business days before the Commission meeting, and the Attorney General's office shall certify in writing that it has physically delivered a copy of said filing to the utility.

   "Physically delivered a copy," as used in this subsection, includes delivery by facsimile transmission.
