House Bill No. by Representative Bayham aims to establish regulations for vegetation maintenance near utility infrastructure in Louisiana. The bill enacts Chapter 3-B of Title 45 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, which includes definitions for key terms such as "commission," "utility infrastructure," and "utility provider." It mandates that utility providers maintain vegetation, ensuring that all plants, trees, and other vegetation are kept at a distance of four feet from their utility infrastructure.

Additionally, the bill empowers the Public Service Commission to adopt reasonable rules and regulations to enforce these vegetation maintenance requirements. This legislative measure seeks to enhance safety and reliability in utility services by preventing vegetation from interfering with utility operations.
