What it does

This bill prohibits a governmental body which exercises jurisdiction over roadways (agency) from requiring a public utility to place utility facilities within an agency-owned conduit as a condition of accessing a public road. An agency in control of a road must provide nondiscriminatory access to the road and nondiscriminatory access to an agency-owned conduit for projects related to broadband infrastructure. Current law is silent as to whether an agency can require a public utility to use an agency’s conduit as a condition of accessing a public road.
