Bill summary
Amends GS 136-19.59(c) to allow the Department of Transportation (DOT), when it requires the relocation of utilities located in a right-of-way for which the utility owner contributed the cost of acquisition, to acquire a replacement right-of-way and assign the easement rights of this replacement to the utility owner, if the utility owner agrees to this arrangement. The law currently only allows the DOT to reimburse the utility owner for the cost of moving the utilities.
