Bill > AB919

This bill requires the Public Service Commission (PSC), a state agency that regulates utilities and telecommunications, to reimburse communications service providers for the costs they incur when they are forced to move their facilities, such as cables or internet lines, that are located in public areas like streets and sidewalks. A "communications service provider" is defined broadly to include companies that offer cable TV, video, phone, or internet services. This reimbursement is established as a continuing appropriation, meaning funds are set aside and available as needed, and the bill also makes a one-time adjustment to how the PSC will report future funding needs for this program.
