SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Utility easements; encroachments. Declares that the damages to which a provider of utility services is entitled when the owner of the servient tract improves, occupies, or otherwise encroaches on an easement in which the provider has utility facilities shall be determined only on the basis of (i) any reduction in the value of such easement as a result of such construction, occupation, or other encroachment and (ii) the additional costs reasonably anticipated to be incurred by the entity in its provision of utility services. If the owner of the servient tract and the provider are unable to agree upon the appropriate amount of damages, either party may request the State Corporation Commission to determine the amount.
