SB 1328 Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act; notification centers.
Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act. Prohibits the State Corporation Commission from promulgating regulations under the Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act that require mandatory reporting, other than by jurisdictional natural gas or hazardous liquid operators, of probable violations of the Act or incidents involving damage, dislocation or disturbance of a utility line. The bill also clarifies the standards to be applied by the SCC in actions involving the certification of notification centers established under the "Miss Utility" program. Commission actions shall be made in furtherance of the purpose of preventing or mitigating loss of, or damage to, life, health, property or essential public services resulting from damage to underground utility lines. Decisions to approve or revoke notification center certifications shall ensure protection for the public from the hazards that this chapter is intended to prevent or mitigate; ensure that persons receive an acceptable level of performance; and require the notification center and its agents to demonstrate financial responsibility, which may be by obtaining liability insurance.
