Sec. 1.
The department is authorized to determine and establish such rules and regulations known as a dig once program for the installation of fiber optic conduit within the limited access highways during specified work conditions. Dig once policies provide ready-made, buried conduits, enabling future providers a more cost effective and efficient method to install fiber by threading it through existing conduits. Installing empty conduit, which is relatively inexpensive during construction projects, supports future expansion by substantially lowering the expense of digging for providers. It allows for fiber optic and conduit placement during significant construction projects.
