TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Provides requirements relative to the location of wireless communication facilities with respect to school property, including permitting requirements

HB 536, the "School Infrastructure Safety and Emergency Coordination Act," requires new freestanding wireless communication towers within 1,000 feet of school property to maintain a setback equal to at least 110% of the tower’s height. It mandates that applicants first seek to place antennas on existing structures (like utility poles) before building new towers, and requires conditional use permits based on safety factors like emergency access and structural integrity. The bill affects wireless providers constructing new towers near schools and obligates them to share emergency contact info and coordinate disaster planning with school districts. It explicitly excludes regulation of radio frequencies or service provision, ensuring compliance with federal law.
