SB1 HFA DeVault & Riley 4-4 #1 REVISED

Casto 3264

Delegates DeVault and Riley moved to amend the bill on page 1, section 8a, line 9, by deleting subsection (c) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“(c) (1) Beginning on December 31, 2025 and due annually on or before that date thereafter, each utility shall provide a report that lists all projects planned by the utility, during the next two years including anticipated construction start and stop dates, that require digging or cutting into any paved road to the district office of the Division of Highways in which the paved road is located. The report shall also include identification of any grants that have either been received or applied for that may result in work that affects a paved road. The Division of Highways shall review and consider such reports in conjunction with the division’s planning of projects and paving activity.

(2) If the utility does not have plans to improve or replace any road asset under consideration in the next two calendar years, the said utility may submit a “no plans report” and opt out of the yearly report. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements may result in The Division of Highways to withhold issuing a “Right of Way Entry Permit” until the required report is submitted.”
