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

HB 2429 requires cities, towns, villages, and Missouri's Department of Transportation to reimburse non-rate-regulated utility providers - including broadband companies, telecom providers, and cable operators - for costs incurred when road maintenance or construction projects require relocating their facilities. Municipalities must include these relocation costs as part of the project budget rather than charging the utilities directly. The law specifically applies to utilities not subject to state rate regulation, such as internet service providers and cable operators. This policy shifts the financial responsibility for facility relocations from private utilities to public infrastructure projects.
