What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law requires persons who engage in excavations to provide advance notice to the state's one-call system, commonly known as the digger's hotline, and comply with other requirements for planning and performing excavations. This bill imposes additional requirements. First, if a person is a foreign corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, or partnership, the person must be authorized or registered to do business in this state before engaging in an excavation.

Second, a person may not engage in an excavation if the person has been debarred from any government contract in any jurisdiction within the previous 10 years.

Third, a person may not engage in an excavation unless the person has in place a written program for the prevention of substance abuse among all employees of the person who engage in excavations. The program must comply with requirements that are similar to requirements that apply under current law to programs for employees of public works contractors.

The bill also provides that all of the following are persons who are subject to excavation requirements under current law and the bill: individuals, corporations, associations, business enterprises, political subdivisions, local governmental units, state agencies, contractors, subcontractors, and other public or private legal entities.
