HB 2383 requires Tennessee's transportation commissioner to establish rules for reimbursing utilities (like electric, water, gas, and broadband providers) when they must relocate infrastructure for highway projects. It sets a minimum reimbursement of $2.5 million for projects where relocation costs exceed that amount, while allowing higher payments at the commissioner's discretion. The bill also mandates that the department approve utility relocation plans that minimize costs for both the utility and its ratepayers. It clarifies that "utility" includes modern infrastructure like fiber optics and broadband, aligning with existing practice without creating new costs for the state.
