Construction: public buildings; placement of certain antennas on public school buildings, rooftops, and adjacent structures; prohibit. Amends 1937 PA 306 (MCL 388.851 - 388.855a) by adding sec. 1e.
HB 4097 prohibits the installation of 4G or 5G cellular antennas and related equipment on public school buildings, rooftops, or within 1,500 feet of school properties. It specifically bans main transmission antennas, large supporting equipment (6+ cubic feet), and support antennas, but allows small internet routers under 15 pounds not used for 4G/5G service. The bill directly affects school districts and property owners managing school facilities by restricting new antenna placements. It amends Michigan's school construction law to regulate such installations, with the definition of 4G/5G technology provided in the bill text.
