Illinois SB3573 regulates fiber optic excavation crews, requiring safety training, map usage, and land restoration.
Illinois SB3573 amends the Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Act to regulate fiber optic excavation crews. It mandates that every crew member complete a safety and installation training course provided by JULIE. The crews must use updated city maps, county maps, and right-of-way maps that are less than 2 years old. They must obtain a surety bond and provide proof to the local government overseeing the excavation project. Within 30 days of project completion, crews must fully restore any residential and landowner ground cables, wires, or related facilities.
