AI Summary
This bill authorizes cities and towns to prohibit the use of "double poles" (utility poles with multiple poles stacked on top of each other) by utility companies for more than 90 days. The bill allows municipalities to enact local ordinances or bylaws to enforce this prohibition, with violations punishable by a fine of up to $200 per occurrence, per day. The purpose of this bill is to address the issue of double poles, which can be unsightly and potentially unsafe, by giving local governments more control over their removal and replacement.
