Maddy summaryThis bill requires telecommunications and cable companies, as well as other entities owning lines, to remove abandoned lines (defined as those not used for 24 consecutive months or not maintained safely) and mark lines attached to buildings with their ownership details. It mandates that entities either correct or remove abandoned lines within 12 months of the bill's effective date and mark new or existing unmarked lines on structures with their name or identifier. Property owners and the Board of Utilities can request removal of suspected abandoned lines, with entities required to respond within five business days. The law applies specifically to above-ground lines used for telecommunications or cable service, excluding certain connected lines in residential/commercial areas.
