Bill overview
This bill addresses the ongoing issue of utility poles remaining in Massachusetts communities without being removed or relocated. It seeks to clarify the responsibilities of utility companies and municipalities regarding the removal of these poles, aiming to improve aesthetics and potentially free up space for infrastructure improvements. The bill recognizes that current regulations may not adequately address the persistent presence of outdated utility poles. It is part of a series of similar legislative efforts over the past decade.
