(a)
The Legislature finds and declares that in order to promote wireline and wireless broadband access and adoption, it is in the interest of the state to ensure that local publicly owned electric utilities, including irrigation districts, that own or control utility poles and support structures, including ducts and conduits, make available appropriate space and capacity on and in those structures to cable television corporations, video service providers, and telephone corporations under reasonable rates, terms, and conditions.
(b)
The Legislature further finds and declares that the oversight of fees and other requirements imposed by local publicly owned electric utilities as a condition of providing
the space or capacity described in subdivision (a) is a matter of statewide interest and concern. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that this part supersedes all conflicting local laws and this part shall apply in charter cities.
(c)
The Legislature further finds and declares that local publicly owned electric utilities should provide access to utility poles and support structures with a recovery of actual costs without subsidizing for-profit cable television corporations, video service providers, and telephone corporations.
