What this bill does

AI summary from the official description

The bill would require a property owner who plans to use a mobile crane on the land to first obtain a geotechnical report on the ground conditions. If that report says the ground cannot support the crane's maximum load, the owner must take required precautions, and the owner cannot use the crane under certain conditions; failing to take those precautions would create a presumption of negligence in a civil lawsuit.
