Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 40:1749.17(A), relative to mandatary reporting of damage to utilities; to provide for notification from excavators or demolishers; to provide for notification from the regional notification center; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill requires individuals or companies performing excavation or demolition work that damages an underground utility or facility to immediately report the damage to both the utility's owner or operator and the regional notification center, which is a service that alerts utility companies about potential damage in their area. The bill also mandates that the regional notification center then inform all potentially affected utility owners and operators. This ensures that repairs can be made promptly before further work continues in the damaged vicinity, preventing potential disruptions and safety hazards.
