Bill overview
This bill would give Massachusetts municipalities more authority to move utility poles, wires, and attachments within public rights-of-way. Currently, municipalities often need approval from utility companies to make these changes, which can be a lengthy and complicated process. This legislation aims to streamline the process and allow cities and towns to better manage their infrastructure. It’s intended to improve the efficiency of utility work and reduce potential disruptions for residents and businesses.
