North Carolina H849 mandates state or city responsibility for utility relocation costs during public transportation projects.

North Carolina H849 amends state statutes to require the state, city, or public authority mandating the relocation of utility facilities to cover the associated costs. This applies to projects on the federal-aid interstate system, including urban extensions, and excludes cities with populations under 5,000 unless the relocation is for a federally funded road project. The bill also specifies that the state will compensate for the necessary work after accounting for any value increase and salvage from the old facilities.
