Relating to the placement of utility lines.

SB 330 requires utility companies to place new electric power lines or replace damaged/obsolete overhead lines underground, directly affecting companies installing or upgrading infrastructure. Exceptions are allowed if underground installation costs 15% more than overhead for replacements or 20% more for new lines due to right-of-way acquisition costs. The bill mandates the Public Utility Commission to establish these cost-based exception criteria through rules. It does not apply to existing overhead lines unless they are replaced.
