Public utilities; Underground Damage Prevention Program; prioritization of, liability for incomplete design or survey locates provided

This bill changes the Underground Damage Prevention Program by altering how utility operators respond to requests to locate underground facilities for design or surveying. It removes options for operators to provide descriptions or allow viewing of facility records, instead requiring them to mark facilities. The bill also mandates that operators prioritize locate requests that are 20 days old or more, makes them financially responsible for project delays if a request is incomplete after 30 days, and prohibits contract locators or operators from closing a request until the facility has been field-verified as marked.
