and insert:

expense except as provided in paragraphs (a)-(f) (a), (b), and

9

(c).

10

     (a)  If the relocation of utility facilities, as referred to

11

in s. 111 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, Pub. L. No. 627

12

of the 84th Congress, is necessitated by the construction of a

13

project on the federal-aid interstate system, including

14

extensions thereof within urban areas, and the cost of such

15

project is eligible and approved for reimbursement by the Federal

16

Government to the extent of 90 percent or more under the Federal

17

Aid Highway Act, or any amendment thereof, then in that event the

18

utility owning or operating such facilities shall relocate such

19

facilities upon order of the department, and the state shall pay

20

the entire expense properly attributable to such relocation after

21

deducting therefrom any increase in the value of the new facility

22

and any salvage value derived from the old facility.

23

     (b)  When a joint agreement between the department and the

24

utility is executed for utility improvement, relocation, or

25

removal work to be accomplished as part of a contract for

26

construction of a transportation facility, the department may

27

participate in those utility improvement, relocation, or removal

28

costs that exceed the department's official estimate of the cost

29

of such work by more than 10 percent. The amount of such

30

participation shall be limited to the difference between the

31

official estimate of all the work in the joint agreement plus 10

32

percent and the amount awarded for this work in the construction

33

contract for such work. The department may not participate in any

34

utility improvement, relocation, or removal costs that occur as a

35

result of changes or additions during the course of the contract.

36

     (c)  When an agreement between the department and utility is

37

executed for utility improvement, relocation, or removal work to

38

be accomplished in advance of a contract for construction of a

39

transportation facility, the department may participate in the

40

cost of clearing and grubbing necessary to perform such work.

41

     (d) If the utility facility being removed or relocated was

42

initially installed to exclusively serve the department, its

43

tenants, or both the department and its tenants, the department

44

shall bear the costs of removal or relocation of that utility

45

facility. The department shall not be responsible, however, for

46

bearing the cost of removal or relocation of any subsequent

47

additions to that facility for the purpose of serving others.

48

     (e) If, pursuant to an agreement between a utility and the

49

authority entered into after the effective date of this

50

subsection, the utility conveys, subordinates, or relinquishes a

51

compensable property right to the authority for the purpose of

52

accommodating the acquisition or use of the right-of-way by the

53

authority, without the agreement expressly addressing future

54

responsibility for cost of removal or relocation of the utility,

55

then the authority shall bear the cost of such removal or

56

relocation. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to impair or

57

restrict, or be used to interpret, the terms of any such

58

agreement entered into prior to the effective date of this

59

paragraph.

60

(f) If the utility is an electric facility being relocated

61

underground in order to enhance vehicular, bicycle, and

62

pedestrian safety and in which ownership of the electric facility

63

to be placed underground has been transferred from a private to a

64

public utility within the past 5 years, the department shall

65

incur all costs of the relocation.

66

     Section 33.  Subsection (4), subsection (5) of section

67

337.408, Florida Statutes, are amended, subsection (7)is

68

renumbered as subsection (8), and a new subsection (7) is added

69

to that section, to read:

70

     337.408  Regulation of benches, transit shelters, street

71

light poles, waste disposal receptacles, and modular news racks

72

within rights-of-way.--

73

     (4)  The department has the authority to direct the

74

immediate relocation or removal of any bench, transit shelter,

75

waste disposal receptacle, public pay telephone, or modular news

76

rack which endangers life or property, except that transit bus

77

benches which have been placed in service prior to April 1, 1992,

78

are not required to comply with bench size and advertising

79

display size requirements which have been established by the

80

department prior to March 1, 1992. Any transit bus bench that was

81

in service prior to April 1, 1992, may be replaced with a bus

82

bench of the same size or smaller, if the bench is damaged or

83

destroyed or otherwise becomes unusable. The department is

84

authorized to adopt rules relating to the regulation of bench

85

size and advertising display size requirements. If a municipality

86

or county within which a bench is to be located has adopted an

87

ordinance or other applicable regulation that establishes bench

88

size or advertising display sign requirements different from

89

requirements specified in department rule, the local government

90

requirement shall be applicable within the respective

91

municipality or county. Placement of any bench or advertising

92

display on the National Highway System under a local ordinance or

93

regulation adopted pursuant to this subsection shall be subject

94

to approval of the Federal Highway Administration.

95

     (5)  No bench, transit shelter, waste disposal receptacle,

96

public pay telephone, or modular news rack, or advertising

97

thereon, shall be erected or so placed on the right-of-way of any

98

road which conflicts with the requirements of federal law,

99

regulations, or safety standards, thereby causing the state or

100

any political subdivision the loss of federal funds. Competition

101

among persons seeking to provide bench, transit shelter, waste

102

disposal receptacle, or modular news rack services or advertising

103

on such benches, shelters, receptacles, or news racks may be

104

regulated, restricted, or denied by the appropriate local

105

government entity consistent with the provisions of this section.

106

(7) Public pay telephones, including advertising displayed

107

thereon, may be installed within the right-of-way limits of any

108

municipal, county, or state road, except on a limited access

109

highway, provided that such pay telephones are installed by a

110

provider duly authorized and regulated by the Public Service

111

Commission pursuant to s. 364.3375, that such pay telephones are

112

operated in accordance with all applicable state and federal

113

telecommunications regulations, and that written authorization

114

has been given to a public pay telephone provider by the

115

appropriate municipal or county government. Each advertisement

116

shall be limited to a size no greater than 8 square feet and no

117

public pay telephone booth shall display more than 3 such

118

advertisements at any given time. No advertisements shall be

119

allowed on public pay telephones located in rest areas, welcome

120

centers, and other such facilities located on an interstate

121

highway.
