§ 7042 Public Utility Exemption

• •This law does not apply to public utilities like water, gas, or electric companies.
• •If these companies are doing work like building or fixing their own stuff, they follow different rules.
• •The State Railroad Commission watches over these companies instead.

A gas company is fixing a broken pipe in the street.

This law doesn’t apply to them because they are a public utility doing their own repair work. They follow rules from the State Railroad Commission instead.
