Bill overview
This bill updates New Jersey law to require certain public utilities, including cable television companies, to notify municipalities before placing, replacing, repairing, or removing poles and underground facilities. It mandates that utilities restore the road or street to its original condition after such work, paying prevailing wages to workers involved. The bill also establishes a system of fines for utilities that fail to comply with notification and restoration requirements, with a maximum daily penalty of $1,000, and prohibits ratepayer recovery of these fines.
