Relating to the notification of a municipality of electric cooperative requests for the transfer or removal of certain pole attachments.

HB 2277 requires electric cooperatives in Texas to notify local municipalities within 10 days when they transfer or remove cable attachments from utility poles. Specifically, cooperatives must provide the municipality with the pole location and details about the transfer procedure (for new installations) or the abandoned attachment (for removals). This bill affects electric cooperatives (who must send notices) and municipalities (who receive them), improving communication about pole infrastructure changes. The bill takes effect on September 1, 2025, unless passed by a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
