Pa. Governor Signs 811 Reauthorization Bill

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) signed a bill reauthorizing the state’s call-before-you-dig law on Tuesday. The legislature passed SB-1237 last week (see 2410230015). During a September hearing, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Chairman Stephen DeFrank supported reauthorizing the 811 law because of an expected influx of broadband work and other reasons (see 2409170004). NARUC plans to vote in November on a proposed resolution on 811 cost sharing (see 2410290041).
