AN ACT REQUIRING NOTICE OF EXCAVATION BY A PUBLIC UTILITY TO AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS.

HB 5941 requires public utilities to provide notice to property owners before conducting any excavation that may affect their property. This applies to all utility work, such as installing or repairing underground lines for gas, water, or electricity. The bill mandates that this notice be given prior to excavation beginning, ensuring property owners are informed in advance of planned utility activities on or near their land.
