MODERATE

The bill was amended to clarify that it applies specifically to utility corporations and municipalities, rather than all corporations. The notification requirement was tightened to require notice at least five business days in advance for work causing planned interruptions, and the list of required notice details was streamlined. Exemptions for emergencies were updated to reference specific state laws and include a clause for situations where notice would delay critical repairs.

Scope change

The bill's applicability was narrowed from a broad range of corporations to specifically 'utility corporations and municipalities'.

SCOPE

Changed the subject of the law from general 'corporations and municipalities' to specifically 'utility corporations and municipalities'.

REQUIREMENT

Updated the notice timing requirement to a specific minimum of 'at least five business days' prior to work, replacing the previous 'as far in advance as practicable' standard.

Simplified the required content of the notice, removing specific mentions of road closures and detours while retaining descriptions of work, duration, location, and contact info.

TIMELINE

Updated the emergency exemption clause to cite 'article two-B of the executive law' and added an exception for cases where providing notice would delay timely repairs.
