UTILITIES: Provides relative to the repair of damaged infrastructure from certain excavators or demolishers (RE1 NO IMPACT See Note)

The requirement for designating a primary point of contact was rewritten to be more explicit, specifying that the contact must be available during business hours and authorized to handle utility conflicts and damages.

The list of parties that must receive contact information was reorganized and renumbered, ensuring the governing authority and the office of broadband development are clearly identified as recipients.

The consequences for damaging underground utilities were restructured to prioritize immediate safety measures (stopping leaks) before notification and repair, followed by a specific fault determination based on compliance with marking and safe digging practices.

The penalty for non-compliance was clarified to explicitly state that reimbursement from the office of broadband development and connectivity will be withheld until the excavator is in compliance with the new subsections.
