Wireless companies would get faster approval for upgrading cell towers and internet facilities.
This bill would make it faster and easier for wireless and telecom companies to upgrade existing cell towers and internet facilities. It would require local governments to approve certain modification requests within 60 days or they would be automatically approved. This aims to improve internet and cell service for everyday Americans.
Today, state and local governments consider requests to modify existing wireless and telecommunications facilities. There is no strict requirement to approve eligible requests or a firm 60-day automatic approval rule. After this bill, state and local governments would be required to approve eligible requests for minor modifications to these facilities within 60 days. Otherwise, the requests would be automatically approved. They would also face strict limits on the information they can demand from companies.
