AI Summary
This bill authorizes cities and towns to enact local ordinances or bylaws prohibiting the use of "double poles" (utility poles used by multiple companies) for longer than 90 days. Violation of these local laws could result in a fine of up to $200 per occurrence, per day. The bill aims to address the issue of double poles, which can be visually unappealing and potentially pose safety hazards if left in place for an extended period.
