Requires removal of double utility poles upon notification by electric public utilities.
This bill requires electric utilities to notify pole attachment owners (like cable or phone companies) when a "double utility pole" exists - a damaged or outdated pole still holding attachments after a replacement was installed. Attachment owners must remove their equipment within 10 business days of notification, then confirm removal to the pole owner. The pole owner must then remove the pole itself within 5 business days of receiving confirmation. It directly affects utilities and attachment companies, streamlining the removal process to eliminate outdated infrastructure.
