Relating to the relocation or adjustment of certain facilities for certain municipal projects.
This bill changes how Texas cities can require telecom companies to move infrastructure during road projects. It allows municipalities to mandate relocation of utility facilities (like cables or poles) in public streets for projects like widening or straightening roads, requiring 30 days' notice and a specified new location. The bill specifies that cities cover relocation costs for some utility types (under Section 66.011), while telecom companies pay using their right-of-way fees for others (under Section 54.203). It directly affects cities planning street improvements and telecom companies operating in municipal right-of-ways.
