Provides relative to mandatory reporting of damage to utilities

Complete·5/15/26

Louisiana HB464 mandates reporting of damage to utilities during excavation or demolition operations.

Louisiana HB464 amends existing law to require individuals responsible for excavation or demolition operations to notify the utility owner or operator and the regional notification center upon discovering damage to underground facilities or utilities. The notification must include the location and nature of the damage. The regional notification center is then required to inform all relevant utility owners and operators in the area of the potential damage. This ensures timely repairs and coordination among utility companies.
