AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow municipal lighting plants and their employees and contractors to remove, move, or relocate any wire, cable, apparatus, or pole belonging to any person or entity upon the request of a public safety official in a city or town that has established a municipal lighting plant. The bill also provides that the municipal lighting plant and its employees and contractors shall not be liable for any damages arising from such removal, moving, or relocation. Additionally, if the owner of the wire, cable, apparatus, or pole does not respond within two hours of being notified, and the public safety official or municipal lighting employee determines it is an emergency, the municipal lighting plant may bill the owner for all costs incurred in the removal, moving, or relocation.
