An Act relative to requiring notification of hazardous utility work to local and regional emergency departments

This bill requires utility companies to inform local and regional emergency services about hazardous work projects they or their contractors are conducting. The law mandates that notifications be sent to police, fire departments, and public works agencies within the area where the work takes place. By ensuring these agencies are aware of potential dangers, the bill aims to improve public safety and coordination during utility operations. This requirement applies to all utility firms operating in Massachusetts, regardless of existing regulations.
