Reimbursement requirement of certain utility facility relocations caused by transportation projects

Summary

The bill lets the Minnesota Department of Transportation handle utility relocations needed for trunk‑highway projects and pay the costs directly, instead of forcing utilities to pay first and seek reimbursement. It adds timing, coordination, and streamlined permitting requirements for those relocations, especially for high‑voltage transmission lines. The changes affect utility owners, state contractors, and the DOT by clarifying payment responsibility and setting clear deadlines.
