OK HB3520

Utilities must complete facility relocations within 90 calendar days of receiving a Notice to Relocate from a public entity, with the deadline beginning when final construction plans and funding availability are both confirmed

Utilities failing to meet the 90-day deadline face liquidated damages of $5,000 per day, per project, which may be withheld from relocation reimbursements or invoiced directly

Municipalities, counties, the Department of Transportation, and other public entities funding infrastructure projects may enforce the requirements through district court actions and recover attorney fees and court costs

Extensions of up to 90 days may be granted only for natural disasters, federal permitting delays, certified material shortages, or extraordinary safety hazards, and must be approved in writing by the public entity

Effective date: November 1, 2026
