Rule 3-9(a) / Re-referred to Assignments
Summary
The bill amends Illinois' Underground Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Act to define a "fiber optic excavation crew" and require each crew member to complete a JULIE‑provided safety course. Crews must use maps that are less than two years old, post a locally‑set surety bond, and restore any disturbed land within 30 days of finishing work. Violations trigger a warning letter for the first offense, a $1,000 fine for the second, and up to $5,000 for each subsequent breach, with arbitration possible after five violations.
