Urging the federal government reach a resolution regarding National Radio Quiet Zone restrictions
This House Resolution urges the federal government to address communication restrictions within the National Radio Quiet Zone in West Virginia and surrounding counties. The bill directly affects residents and first responders in Pendleton, Barbour, Pocahontas, Randolph, Tucker, Upshur, and Webster counties who rely on cell phones and public safety radios. It specifically calls for a resolution regarding the power output limits on cell towers and radio networks near the Green Bank Observatory and the NSA's Sugar Grove Research Station. The resolution highlights concerns that these limits hinder emergency communications for 911 personnel and other first responders during critical situations. A copy of the resolution is to be sent to federal agencies managing the facilities and the state's congressional delegation.
