Requires removal of double utility poles upon notification by electric public utilities.
This bill requires electric utilities in New Jersey to notify owners of cables or equipment (like telecom lines) attached to "double utility poles" - old poles still holding attachments after a replacement was installed. Owners of those attachments must remove their equipment within 10 business days of notification, then inform the pole owner. The pole owner must then remove the outdated pole within 5 business days of receiving confirmation. The bill directly affects electric utilities, pole attachment owners (e.g., telecom companies), and pole owners, streamlining the removal of obsolete infrastructure.
