A. A utility shall not unreasonably discriminate against any residential customer. Neither shall a utility discriminate against or penalize a residential customer for exercising any right granted by 17.5.410 NMAC, nor shall any provision herein be construed to relieve any residential customer from liability for proper utility charges.

B. A utility may adopt such reasonable rules governing its relations with residential customers as are necessary and which are not inconsistent with 17.5.410 NMAC and as prescribed in 17.1.210 NMAC.

C. Unless otherwise specified a utility shall not be required to file new tariffs pursuant to 17.5.410 NMAC. To the extent that existing tariffs are inconsistent with 17.5.410 NMAC, such tariffs are deemed to be superseded by the requirements of 17.5.410 NMAC and all provisions of 17.5.410 NMAC are deemed to apply to all utilities as though set forth in applicable tariffs unless the differences between the tariffs and 17.5.410 NMAC are permitted pursuant to an exemption or variance requested under 17.5.410.9 NMAC and granted by the commission.
