Bill Summary
For legislation to establish standards for the pole attachment process to facilitate the construction of broadband networks. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill establishes standards for the pole attachment process to facilitate the construction of broadband networks. It amends existing law to allow attachments to be made under a new section, Section 25B, which outlines a one-touch make-ready application process. This process allows a requesting party, such as a telecommunications or wireless provider, to perform simple make-ready work using their own qualified contractors, provided they give proper notice and the pole owner does not object. The bill also sets requirements for the pole owner's list of authorized contractors and the qualifications those contractors must meet.
