The bill exempts public utilities from civil liability when they allow law enforcement agencies to attach, access, operate, maintain, or remove law enforcement equipment on their utility poles or other structures. This immunity applies to any civil actions that arise from such authorizations or agreements between public utilities and law enforcement agencies. The bill defines "law enforcement agency" to include city police departments, county sheriff's departments, and county police departments, and it clarifies that "public utility" encompasses any public utility as defined in existing law, including municipally owned or operated utilities and electric cooperatives.

The legislation aims to facilitate cooperation between public utilities and law enforcement by reducing the legal risks associated with the installation and maintenance of law enforcement equipment on utility infrastructure. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book, ensuring that the provisions are implemented promptly.
