relative to the valuation of telecommunications use of public rights-of-way.

Summary

The bill establishes how to assess the value of telecommunications poles and conduits by using replacement cost, depreciation over 40 years, and a 20% residual value, and adds an extra charge based on the average per‑acre value of adjacent land multiplied by the length of certain state roads. It requires the Department of Revenue to publish annual cost schedules and the commissioner to adopt implementing rules with public input. The measure would affect telephone utilities, VoIP and mobile radio providers that use public rights‑of‑way.
