An act relating to telecommunications siting
H.751 requires telecommunications companies to obtain permits from District Commissions for new facilities, including 5G small cell antennas. It repeals the previous certificate system and mandates specific safety rules: facilities must be at least 2,000 feet from residences, schools, hospitals, and parks; limit radiation to -75 dBm or 0.1 watts ERP; and require annual compliance certifications by licensed engineers. The bill directly affects telecom providers building infrastructure and aims to standardize siting rules for public safety and transparency. Key provisions include visible RF radiation labels on poles and annual monitoring reports for all radiating antennas.
