When reasonably necessary for construction or emergencies, cities and towns may require service providers to relocate facilities at their own expense. Private parties must reimburse a service provider if the relocation was required for private purposes. However, there are certain exceptions for cable television service and agreements for site-specific charges concerning personal wireless services. Binding arbitration is allowed if municipalities and personal wireless service companies cannot agree on site-specific charges. Information provided in applications for use permits is public.
Information regarding the location of existing facilities is public.
Proprietary information cannot be required for master permits. Proprietary information can be required to facilitate the scheduling and coordination of work in a right of way, but it is not to be considered public information. The bill contains a conflict between injunction statute and land use petition act. References to proprietary information and public disclosure are removed. A technical change is made clarifying that service providers can be charged a utility tax.
