Explanation

(This amendment provides funding from the nongeneral fund in the first year for House Bill 913, relating to restoration requirements for operators of residential telecommunications or cable television service. The bill prohibits an operator from giving false or misleading information to the notification center and requires the State Corporation Commission to investigate certain claims following an informal complaint. The bill requires an operator to indemnify and hold harmless an excavator when the excavator is installing facilities for purposes of broadband service and damages a utility line used for residential telecommunications or cable television and provides that no excavator is liable for any such damage occurring on or after July 1, 2022. This is a placeholder amendment until a final fiscal impact statement is produced.)
