IN HR0074

Urges the Legislative Council to assign a study committee to examine the effectiveness of Indiana's 811 laws, which require contractors to locate underground utilities before excavation

Focuses on preventing property damage and injuries by ensuring accurate identification of underground facility locations through a statewide database

Addresses concerns that inaccurate utility location information from utility companies undermines the 811 system and endangers contractors and the public

Recommends studying modifications to current law to increase worker safety and create more equitable responsibility between contractors and utility providers
