2014 Proposed Legislation(SB 288/HB 213)

Primary purpose of bill was to extend the High-Priority Subsurface Installation concept to all utilities with underground facilities, not just gas utilities.

Effective date – July 1, 2014

Would have allowed pre-marking through

electronic markings or other industry-

accepted methods.


Would have created a noncriminal

infraction for an excavator who fails to

notify a member operator of the start

date when digging near a declared

High-Priority Subsurface

Installation.



Removed notification exemptions for:

• Excavation/demolition part of normal industrial activities.

• Maintenance activities within ROW by state agency and its employees.

• FDOT will be required to receive locate tickets and locate/mark its facilities.


Senate Bill 288 and House Bill 213 to amend Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, withdrawn per Sunshine 811 request.

Proposed Future Legislation

• Repeal current notification exemptions

• Effective state one-call enforcement

• Mandatory damagereporting

Proposed Future Legislation

We invite FEPA to be involved in

developing proposed legislation,

building consensus with FEPA

member and advocacy for

legislation in Tallahassee

Irth Enhancements

• Mobile app for ticket inquiries, positive response updates

• Multi-browser capability

• Single Address Ticket

• Positive Response System enhancements to facilitate excavator communication of: – Notification of work start date and time near High

Priority Subsurface Installations (2C code)

– Agreement (yes/no) with marking delay request by member/locator (3F code)

Damage Data Collection Form

The Sunshine 811 Board of Directors approved

development of a Damage Data Collection Form

for use in Florida. It is a streamlined version of

DIRT. When completed users will be able to report

damages with an online form. Communications is

key to success. Please send our communications

to your constituents.
