HB 1914 Pole attachments by cable television systems.
Introduced by: John A. (Jack) Rollison, III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Pole attachments. Requires both public utilities and cable television systems or telecommunications service providers to negotiate in good faith to arrive at mutually agreeable contracts for attachments to the public utility's poles. After entering into a contract, the public utility shall permit, upon reasonable terms and conditions and payment of reasonable charges and costs, the attachments or placements, provided they do not interfere, obstruct or delay the service and operation of the public utility or create a safety hazard. Access may be denied if the attachment interferes, obstructs or delays the service and operation of the public utility or creates a safety hazard, of if the public utility provides electric service and the denial is made on a nondiscriminatory basis on grounds of insufficient capacity or reasons of safety, reliability, or generally applicable engineering principles. This measure will not apply to pole attachments regulated under federal law.
