First reading: referred to Committee on Utilities, Energy and Telecommunications
Summary
The bill lets a contractor hire a third‑party locator when a utility company fails to supply underground‑facility details or an electronic confirmation. The locator must be one the utility has authorized, and the utility must reimburse the contractor three times what the contractor paid the locator. It also creates a process for the Indiana Underground Plant Protection Service to manage authorized locators and share their list with excavators.
