Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2023 - 2024 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 15, 2024 12:45 PM
From: Senator Lisa Baker
To: All Senate members
Subject: Licensure exemption for certain field work operations
 
Soon I will introduce legislation to provide a licensure exemption under the Engineer, Land Surveyor and Geologist Registration Law for employees, contractors and agents of public utilities, electric cooperatives and telecommunications companies.
 
Utilities, electric co-ops, and telecommunications companies utilize both employees and contractors for field work including, but not limited to vegetation management, pole attachments, line construction and asset management.
 
Under current law, utility and telecommunications company employees are already exempted. This legislation would extend the exemption to their contractors and agents and include the related industries of electric co-ops and cable and broadband service providers. This exemption is critical to the rapid and efficient deployment of much-needed broadband services to underserved areas of the Commonwealth.
 
Please join me in co-sponsoring legislation that is particularly timely for what will very soon be a burgeoning statewide endeavor.
 



Introduced as SB1226
