A local government shall not recover any fee from a public utility for the use of its right-of-way, other than a fee for its management costs. A local government may recover from a public utility only those management costs caused by the public utility's activity in the public right-of-way. A fee or other obligation under this section shall be imposed on a competitively neutral basis. When a local government's management costs cannot be attributed to only one entity, those costs shall be allocated among all users of the public rights-of-way, including the local government itself. The allocation shall reflect proportionately the costs incurred by the local government as a result of the various types of uses of the public rights-of-way.
This section does not prohibit the collection of a franchise fee as permitted in section 480A.6.
