SB0717 amends Tennessee Code to regulate utility infrastructure installation and review processes.
SB0717 amends Tennessee Code to allow customers to choose contractors for utility infrastructure installation. It mandates that public utilities review infrastructure plans within 30 days and charge no more than $1,000 for this review. If the utility fails to meet these requirements, the plans are automatically approved if certified by a licensed engineer. The act also defines "public utility" to include water, wastewater, natural gas, and electric systems.
