An Act to establish standards for the pole attachment process to facilitate the construction of broadband networks
This bill establishes new standards for attaching broadband equipment to existing utility poles to speed up internet infrastructure construction. It creates a "One Touch Make Ready" process that requires utility companies to complete pole modifications within a single work session rather than multiple visits. The legislation defines specific terms like "assigned space" and "common space" to clarify how much room is available on poles for different providers. By streamlining these procedures, the law aims to reduce delays and costs for companies building broadband networks while maintaining safety standards.
