Ohio SB316 allows utility providers to seek permission from local authorities for work near railroad rights-of-way.
Ohio SB316 modifies the process for utility providers to conduct work near railroad rights-of-way. Instead of needing permission from the railroad company, utility providers can apply to local authorities for permission. If the work is within a municipal corporation, the utility provider applies to the municipal legislative authority. If outside a municipal corporation, the application goes to the county board of commissioners. The local authorities can grant permission after notifying any affected railroad company.
