What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires persons who engage in excavations to provide advance

notice to the state's one-call system, commonly known as digger's hotline, and

comply with other requirements for planning and conducting excavations. Current

law also requires persons who own transmission facilities that are affected by

advance notices to mark the location of the facilities, except for those facilities on

private property that do not cross a public right-of-way. This bill provides that any

of the following is a person who is subject to the foregoing requirements: an

individual, corporation, association, business enterprise, local governmental unit,

state agency, contractor, subcontractor, or other public or private legal entity.
