Summary

The bill changes the rules for highway encroachment permits so that, for public utility districts in Mendocino County serving 5,000 households or fewer, Caltrans—not the utility—covers the cost of relocating or removing the encroachment when a highway project requires it. It also requires Caltrans to notify the utility at each stage of such projects. The measure was vetoed by the governor.
