SB 5740: Utility pole attachments

Regulating utility pole attachments.

Summary

Finds that public utility districts that own utility poles and that are exempt from the pole attachment provisions under chapter 80.54 RCW have sought to charge multiple attachment fees on the same pole and have used attachment rates, terms, and conditions that are inconsistent with the pole attachment provisions under chapter 80.54 RCW and federal communications commission regulations.
