SF 1544 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Moratorium to complete a study on the health, environmental, and economic effects of 5G technology imposition

This bill imposes a one-year moratorium on approving new 5G infrastructure permits (right-of-way and small wireless facility permits) to allow for a state study. It requires four state agencies to study 5G's health effects (using peer-reviewed research), environmental impacts, property value effects, and insurance needs for liability. The study must be completed and reported to the legislature by December 1, 2025. The moratorium does not affect existing 5G installations but stops new approvals during the study period.
