SB 134 - This act revises the excavation notice system
enacted in 1991. Current law authorizes an unlimited number of
notification centers in the state and does not require that
owners of underground pipes or wires register with a notification
system. This act authorizes only one notification center in the
state and requires all owners of underground facilities to
register with the center. These provisions will apply from
January 1, 2000. The act clarifies the duty of the owner to
respond to requests to mark and re-mark an excavation site
and the duty of the excavator to exercise reasonable care to
ensure that the markings remain undisturbed.
