Legislative Update
Senate Bill 152 officially expired on December 31, 2010. In our continuing effort to promote underground facility protection and public safety, the Ohio Underground Damage Prevention Coalition was formed.
*Please note that the date of the May meeting has changed due to the Memorial Day holiday and the time of the meeting has changed slightly due to a conflict at the meeting site. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 21st, 2012, 12:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. at NiSource, 1600 Dublin Rd., Columbus, Ohio.*
The purpose of the Ohio Underground Damage Prevention Coalition is:
"To biennially, at a minimum, evaluate the Ohio Revised Code as it relates to underground damage prevention in order to develop fair and reasonable public policy which provides a safe environment for the public and excavators by protecting Ohio’s underground utility infrastructure from excavation damage through educating and communicating the results of these efforts to state policymakers."
