Sec. 1.
The department is authorized to determine and establish such
				  rules and regulations known as a dig once program for the installation of fiber
				  optic conduit within the limited access highways during specified work
				  conditions. Dig once policies provide ready-made, buried conduits, enabling
				  future providers a more cost effective and efficient method to install fiber by
				  threading it through existing conduits. Installing empty conduit, which is
				  relatively inexpensive during construction projects, supports future expansion
				  by substantially lowering the expense of digging for providers. It allows for
				  fiber optic and conduit placement during significant construction projects.
