An Act relative to excavation restoration on public ways

This bill requires anyone excavating public roads, sidewalks, or curbs (with a permit) to fully restore the surface to its original condition or better at their own expense. They must use the same materials and match existing markings like crosswalks and bike lanes, following Department of Public Utilities rules. The excavator remains responsible for any damage to the restored surface for one year after work is completed. This directly affects utility companies, contractors, and other entities performing underground work on public rights-of-way.
