Bill Summary
Public utilities; Underground Damage Prevention Program; certain statutory sunset clauses deleted
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to extend the sunset clause for the Underground Damage Prevention Program in Alabama from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2036, meaning the program's provisions will remain in effect for a longer period. The Underground Damage Prevention Program, often referred to as the "One-Call Notification System," requires operators of underground facilities, such as utility lines, to participate in a system that notifies them of planned excavation or demolition activities to prevent damage. The bill also makes minor technical changes, such as clarifying that nonprofit corporations are not subject to specific membership costs under certain conditions and ensuring that the One-Call Notification System's services are provided during working days and that after-hours calls reach a recording explaining emergency procedures.
