Starting June 9th 2026, House Bill 227 brings new damage reporting requirements to excavation law.

If underground utilities are damaged during excavation:
- ANY damage must be reported to OHIO811 in addition to notifying the utility
- Reports must include the location, type of utility damaged and approximate depth where it was hit

These updates help improve communication, accountability, and safety when damages occur underground.
