Illinois Dig Once Act

Abstract

Creates the Illinois Dig Once Act. Provides that the Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, and the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall jointly develop a policy to reduce the scale and number of repeated excavations related to roads, highways, tollways, and expressways for the installation and maintenance of broadband infrastructure and public utilities in rights of way. Provides that the Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, and the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall jointly develop rules to implement the Act. Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 Adds reference to: 30 ILCS 605/7.2 from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions of the introduced bill, and makes the following changes: Removes language concerning: (1) the costs and trenching and installing broadband infrastructure; and (2) rules ensuring that existing broadband infrastructure and underground utility facilities are not disadvantaged. Provides that the Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, the Illinois Commerce Commission, and the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall consult with the State-Wide One-Call Notice System to jointly develop rules for the design and construction of road, highway, tollway, and expressway projects to reduce the need for the relocation of public water and wastewater infrastructure and to promote the deployment (rather than reduce the scale and number of repeated excavations of roads, highways, tollways, and expressways for the installation and maintenance) of broadband infrastructure and underground utility facilities in an efficient and competitively neutral process for all road, highway, tollway, and expressway projects. Provides that the rules adopted under the Act are not intended to delay the design or construction of road, highway, tollway, and expressway construction projects, and shall not be construed to provide authority to approve, deny, or delay broadband infrastructure projects or underground utility facilities projects. Amends the State Property Control Act. In provisions allowing the Director of the Department of Central Management Services to grant easements to public utilities, provides that a public utility includes a company that provides broadband Internet service, cable service, video service, or Voice Over Internet Protocol service. Makes a conforming change. Senate Floor Amendment No. 2 Provides that, whenever a public utility makes an application for a grant or easement in, over, or upon real property of the State for purposes of locating and maintaining such utility, or such utility's wire, pipe, cable, fiber conduit, or other facility or equipment (rather than only such utility's wire, pipe, cable, fiber conduit, or other facility or equipment), the Administrator, with the consent of the agency having jurisdiction over the real property, may grant such an easement.
