A 10718 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Requires utility companies to report on utility poles and remove unused utility poles in the public right-of-way

This bill requires utility companies to submit annual reports listing all utility poles they own in public areas, specifically identifying which ones are currently in use and which are abandoned. It mandates that companies create a plan to remove any unused poles within one year of being identified and authorizes regulators to impose fines of up to $10,000 per pole for each year a company fails to comply. The reports must be shared with state officials and legislative leaders by December 1st each year to improve transparency and clear clutter from public rights-of-way.
