HCS/SB 1102 - This act allows Jefferson County to adopt ordinances regarding the relocation of utility facilities within the right-of-ways of streets, highways, or roads under its jurisdiction.

No county of the first, second, third, or fourth classification shall have the power to adopt any ordinance, resolution, or regulation governing any railroad company, telecommunications or wireless companies, public utilities, rural electric cooperatives, or municipal utilities.
