Digest
HB 5604 mandates that electric cooperatives provide nondiscriminatory access to their rights-of-way and distribution poles for telecommunications providers. It prevents electric cooperatives from charging excessive pole attachment fees and subjects their rates to Public Utility Commission oversight. The bill also ensures that access to cooperative-owned infrastructure follows the same standards as federally regulated utilities​.
