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 a diverse group of members, including legislators, representatives from various utility and transportation organizations, and individuals with expertise in infrastructure issues. The Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate will appoint the chair and vice chair, respectively. The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by the tenth legislative day of the 2026 Regular Session, after which it will be dissolved. The resolution emphasizes the importance of inclusivity in the commission's membership to reflect the state's diversity.
