Requires public utilities and cable television companies to accommodate and relocate facilities and pay costs thereof when necessary for infrastructure projects.
New Jersey's A2233 bill would require public utilities (like power, gas, and water companies) and cable television companies to pay for relocating their facilities when infrastructure projects (such as highway construction) need to occur, shifting the cost burden from taxpayers to these companies. The bill establishes a process where government entities must notify utilities about upcoming projects, hold coordination meetings, and set specific timelines for relocation. Utilities would need to conduct their own site assessments and pay for any work needed to accommodate infrastructure projects, rather than taxpayers covering these costs. This change would prevent delays caused by utility facilities and ensure taxpayers aren't burdened with these relocation expenses.
