Requires municipalities and the department of transportation to reimburse non-rate regulated utilities for site relocation labor costs incurred due to road maintenance

HB 2155 requires municipalities and the Missouri Department of Transportation to reimburse non-rate-regulated utilities (like certain telecom or gas providers) for costs incurred when relocating facilities due to road maintenance projects. The bill mandates that counties must pay these relocation costs as part of public right-of-way project expenses, replacing prior laws that did not require such reimbursement. This directly affects utility companies that operate without state rate regulation and local governments managing road construction. The key provision shifts the financial responsibility for utility relocations from the utility to the government entity undertaking the roadwork.
