Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Bill 1929 specifies that transmission owners must pay a fee of $2.00 per linear foot for any electric transmission line that crosses a landowner's property. This change emphasizes the responsibility of transmission owners to compensate landowners, which can help ensure fair treatment and maintain positive relations between utility companies and local property owners. The bill also sets a clear framework for these payments, potentially leading to more transparent negotiations and agreements in the future.
