Deceptive, insidious, and evil.

That’s how telecom attorney Andrew Campanelli described this legislation when it was filed as HR 3557 in the prior Congress. He went on to say, “It's actually designed to strip all powers from state and local governments…over the placement of [wireless] facilities.”

On Tuesday Nov 18, the House Communications & Technology Subcommittee of the Energy & Commerce Committee is planning to resurrect and approve this terrible legislation.

More on what this bill would do:

• Virtually eliminate local zoning discretion

• Automatically approve antennas on almost any structure

• Allow 200-foot cell towers in your neighbor’s yard – not even in the public right-of-way

• FCC can eliminate local zoning ordinances

• Eliminate almost all environmental and historic preservation reviews

• See EHT factsheet from the prior Congress

• Watch the webinar with leading attorneys Scott McCollough, Andrew Campanelli, Julian Gresser, and Odette Wilkens

Instead of this ill-conceived legislation, we urge Congress to pass our proposed legislation compelling the FCC to comply with an order issued by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in 2021 in the case Environmental Health Trust, et al. v. FCC (DC Cir 2021, No. 20-1025), ordering the FCC to address 11,000 pages of evidence on adverse impacts of wireless radiation.
