The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5941, aims to amend chapter 293 of the general statutes to mandate that public utilities must provide notice to affected property owners before commencing any excavation activities. This requirement is intended to ensure that property owners are informed and can prepare for any potential disruptions or impacts resulting from the excavation work.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the obligation of public utilities to notify property owners, thereby enhancing communication and transparency between utilities and the communities they serve. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the bill text, indicating a straightforward addition to existing regulations regarding excavation practices by public utilities.
