Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the One-Call Notification System Act; to amend section 76-2308, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to redefine a term; and to repeal the original section.

AI Summary

This bill amends the One-Call Notification System Act by redefining "excavation" to include hand digging by telecommunications, community antenna television, or broadband service providers to a depth not exceeding eighteen inches for the purpose of connecting a customer to their network, while also repealing the original definition. The One-Call Notification System Act generally requires anyone planning to dig to notify a central agency, known as a "one-call center," before starting work to prevent damage to underground utilities like gas lines or electrical cables. This change specifically exempts a particular type of shallow hand digging by certain service providers from the notification requirement, likely to streamline customer connections.
