HB 2638 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in alternative form of regulation of telecommunications services, providing for telecommunications line repair and tree limb removal.

This bill requires telecommunications companies to promptly repair damaged lines or remove tree limbs that interfere with road safety after being notified by local governments or state agencies. The law prohibits carriers from passing these repair costs onto customers who do not use the specific infrastructure that caused the issue. Violations of these requirements could result in penalties enforced by the state commission, and the commission will create rules to ensure proper implementation.
