No utility may require, as a condition precedent to the move, that a mover or the party owning the structure being moved sign a contract which adds terms regarding the movement of the structure inconsistent with this section.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070568Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070568000004"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070568Normal"><span class="s2070568SCL">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070568SCL-000005"> SDC 1939, § 13.4520; SL 1987, ch 345, § 87; SL 1992, ch 329.</span></p></div></body></html><br /><hr><br /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-us'/><title>SDLRC - Codified Law 49-32 - TELEPHONE, TELEGRAPH AND ELECTRIC LINES </title><meta name="Generator" content="PowerTools for Open XML" /><style>span { white-space: pre-wrap; } p.s2070569Normal { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2070569SENU { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070569CL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } p.s2070569Normal-000000 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 0.50in; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2070569DefaultParagraphFont { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070569DefaultParagraphFont-000001 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070569000002 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070569SCL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2070569SCL-000003 { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } </style></head><body><div><p dir="ltr" class="s2070569Normal"><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=49-32-3.1"><span class="s2070569SENU">49-32-3.1</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070569SENU">. </span><span class="s2070569CL">Required notice to telecommunications company--Planning meeting required.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2070569Normal-000000"><span class="s2070569DefaultParagraphFont">Any person, any political subdivision of this state, or any other public or private entity, however organized, that constructs, maintains, or operates a wind collector system for the purpose of producing electric energy shall, prior to the conclusion of planning for construction of any such project, notify in writing any telecommunications company having telecommunications facilities located within one mile of the proposed site, according to the records of the one</span><span class="s2070569DefaultParagraphFont-000001">-</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070569DefaultParagraphFont">call notification system established by chapter </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=49-7A"><span class="s2070569DefaultParagraphFont">49-7A</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2070569DefaultParagraphFont">, of the intent to construct and the proposed location of the wind collector system.
