HB 551 Public Rights-of-Way Use Fee.

Introduced by: Thomas Davis Rust | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Public Rights-of-Way Use Fee. Provides that the Public Rights-of-Way Use Fee does not preempt cities, those towns where public streets and roads are not maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation, and counties that have withdrawn or elect to withdraw from the secondary system of state highways from assessing street opening permit fees. The measure also allows such municipalities to impose a locally-negotiated franchise fee on any telecommunications provider that maintains no or a nominal number of access lines in the municipality. The amount of the locally-negotiated franchise fee shall not exceed the statewide Public Rights-of-Way Use Fee multiplied by 25 percent of the average number of access lines of each certificated provider of telecommunications service maintained in the municipality.
