Requirements for permitting small wireless facilities modification

SF 1384 modifies Minnesota's rules for permitting small wireless facilities (like 5G cell equipment) in public rights-of-way. It requires local governments to process permit applications without asking for redundant information, to provide clear 300-foot notice to nearby property owners before installation (including "NOTICE OF 5G TOWER CONSTRUCTION" in bold), and to allow consolidated applications for up to 15 facilities within a two-mile radius. The bill prohibits local fees for routine maintenance or minor replacements of existing facilities and mandates nondiscriminatory review. This directly affects telecom companies installing small wireless infrastructure and local governments managing public rights-of-way.
