State highways: encroachment permits: relocating or removing encroachments: public utility districts.
- Shifts costs for highway encroachment relocations from small utility districts to the state transportation department.
- Applies only to public utility districts serving 5,000 or fewer households.
- Requires the transportation department to notify affected utility districts at each project stage.
- Exempts qualifying utility districts from paying to move their infrastructure during highway improvements.
Assembly Member Rogers proposes shifting the financial burden of relocating utility infrastructure during highway improvements from small public utility districts to the California Department of Transportation. The legislation exempts public utility districts serving 5,000 or fewer households from current requirements to pay for moving their infrastructure when state highway projects necessitate such relocations.
The Department of Transportation would assume all costs associated with relocating or removing these smaller utilities' infrastructure during highway improvement projects. The department must also notify affected utility districts at each stage of projects requiring infrastructure relocation. The measure maintains existing provisions requiring larger utilities and other permit holders to bear their own relocation expenses when highway improvements require moving their infrastructure.
The bill defines eligible public utility districts as those established under Division 7 of the Public Utilities Code. All other aspects of the state's encroachment permit system remain unchanged, including the department's authority to revoke most permits with five days' notice and existing exemptions for public transit guideways.
