HB 2268 Notice of proposed location of utility lines.

Introduced by: James M. Shuler | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Notice of proposed location of utility lines. Requires that owners of property within the route of a proposed gas pipeline or electrical transmission line of 150 kV or more be sent a notice of the proposed construction by first class mail. The notice requirements for a public utility proposing to build a gas pipeline are conformed in several respects to those for the proposed construction of electric transmission lines. These include (i) requiring that notices include a written description of the proposed route the line is to follow and a map or sketch of the route; (ii) requiring the notice to include the deadline for an interested party to request a hearing from the State Corporation Commission; and (iii) requiring the Commission to hold at least one hearing in the area that would be affected by construction of the pipeline if requested in writing by 20 or more interested parties. This bill is a recommendation of the joint subcommittee studying eminent domain issues.
