The resolution establishes the Joint Interim Study Commission on Utility Relocation Costs in Alabama to examine the financial implications of relocating utility facilities due to public road projects, such as road realignment and widening. The commission aims to assess current practices and laws regarding the use of public road rights-of-way for utility facilities, the processes for their relocation, and the associated costs. It will also explore the potential for federal funding to assist with these expenses and develop recommendations for equitable cost allocation and reimbursement procedures.

The commission will consist of various members, including legislators, representatives from utility and transportation organizations, and other stakeholders, ensuring a diverse representation of the state's demographics. The commission is tasked with meeting regularly, reporting its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by the tenth legislative day of the 2026 Regular Session, after which it will be dissolved. Administrative support will be provided by the Legislative Services Agency, and while legislative members will receive compensation, non-legislative members will serve without pay but may be reimbursed for necessary expenses.
