Requires removal of double utility poles upon notification by electric public utilities.
This bill requires electric utilities in New Jersey to notify owners of attachments (like cable or phone lines) on "double utility poles" - outdated poles still in use after a replacement was installed. Attachment owners must remove their equipment within 10 business days of notification, then notify the pole owner. The pole owner must remove the outdated pole within 5 business days of receiving confirmation of attachment removal. The law aims to eliminate safety hazards and outdated infrastructure by streamlining the removal process.
