Summary

The bill tells the Division of Highways to give utilities up to 18 months’ written notice to move or adjust any lines that block a highway project. Utilities must submit plans and a work schedule for approval, and the division can reimburse them for relocation if they lack staff or funds, with repayment later. It also sets penalties for utilities that miss the deadline unless the division is at fault.
