Bill Summary

AN ACT To enact R.S. 45:1207, relative to publicly owned and privately owned utility systems; to authorize the Louisiana Public Service Commission to identify the locations of all utility systems in the state of Louisiana; to provide for the digital mapping of all utility systems; to provide for the promulgation of rules and regulations; to provide relative to a grant program; to provide for an effective date; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill mandates the digital mapping of all utility systems in Louisiana, requiring the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) to collect location data from both public and private utility providers, such as those for electricity, water, natural gas, and wastewater. The cost of this mapping will be borne by the utility owners, and the LPSC is authorized to create rules and regulations to implement this mandate, including a grant program aimed at preventing damage to existing utilities and ensuring proper documentation, with these rules requiring approval from legislative committees. The entire statewide digital map, which must achieve at least 85% accuracy, is to be completed by December 31, 2032.
