AN ACT REQUIRING NOTICE OF EXCAVATION BY A PUBLIC UTILITY TO AFFECTED PROPERTY OWNERS.

SB 1289 requires public utilities to provide direct written notice to property owners whose land is adjacent to planned excavation, demolition, or explosive discharge work. The notice must include the utility's contact information, exact date, location, type of work, and expected duration, delivered at least two days before the work begins. This bill directly affects homeowners and property owners near utility construction sites, ensuring they receive timely, specific information about nearby activities that could impact their property. The law replaces existing notice requirements and takes effect October 1, 2025.
