HB 3131 proposes a study by the Public Utility Commission of Texas, in coordination with the Texas Broadband Development Office, to evaluate the impact of existing laws, rules, and regulations regarding pole attachments on broadband expansion. The study aims to assess the time required for pole attachments, the effectiveness of rules for removing obsolete poles, and the commission's resources for educating stakeholders on pole attachment rights. The commission is required to submit an initial report on the study's findings by February 15, 2026, and a final report by December 1, 2026, before the act expires at the end of that year​.
