Requires notice prior to utility pole placement and removal.

Summary

The legislation requires public utilities to notify the relevant municipality (and make a good‑faith effort to alert telecom providers) at least 60 days before any non‑emergency pole placement or removal, and to give a shorter notice (about 48‑25 hours) before placement. It also bars a pole’s removal until 60 days have passed since a new pole is installed, mandates debris removal and property restoration, and lets municipalities fine utilities for non‑compliance.
