Bill > A09435

This bill amends existing law to require utility pole owners and companies that attach equipment to utility poles (known as "attachers") to submit an annual report detailing their pole attachment activities, including the number of requests received, processing times, whether "make-ready" work (preparing the pole for new attachments) is needed, the number of attachments completed, details about contractors, and information on pole replacements. The bill also allows for complaints to be filed regarding unsafe or non-compliant attachments and repeals certain provisions of the General Municipal Law that previously outlined requirements for right-of-way permits, streamlining the reporting and complaint process for utility pole attachments.
