Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This bill requires electrical utilities (using eminent domain to construct or expand electric transmission lines) to bear the burden of proof that they considered existing land use, corridors, environmental conditions, engineering practices related to the construction and operation of the line, as well as the costs related to the construction, operation and maintenance of the line when selecting the location of the electrical line.
