of any public right-of-way or highway by video service providers in a manner
that:
(a) Is consistent with federal and state law and
the lawful police powers of the local government; and
(b) Is competitively neutral and does not:

providers; or
(2) Discriminate between video service
providers and any other users of the public right-of-way or highway for the
construction and operation of facilities.
3. In managing any public right-of-way or
highway, a local government may:
(a) Require a video service provider or affiliate
that is constructing, installing, working within, maintaining or repairing
facilities in, on, under or over any public right-of-way or highway to obtain a
construction, encroachment or occupancy permit or license for such work; and
(b) Inspect the construction, installation,
maintenance or repair work performed on such facilities.

made.
5. A local government may charge a video
service provider a fee to issue such a permit or license or to perform any
inspection authorized by this section. The amount of any fee charged by a local
government pursuant to this subsection may not exceed the actual costs incurred
by the local government in administering the process of issuing such permits or
licenses and performing such inspections.
6. If there is a situation necessitating
emergency response work or repair in, on, under or over any public right-of-way
or highway, a video service provider may begin that work or repair without
prior approval from a local government if the provider notifies the local
government as promptly as reasonably possible after learning of the need for
that work or repair.
