Summary

Cell Phone Connectivity Interim Study Committee. The bill
requires that an application by a telecommunications provider for the
siting and construction of a new wireless telecommunications facility or
for the substantial change of an existing wireless telecommunications
facility (application) submitted to a local government is deemed approved
by the local government if:
  • The local government has not approved or rejected the
application within 60 days after the application is submitted
to the local government or conducted a pre-application
meeting or other documented communication regarding the
application, whichever is earlier (60-day time period);
  • The telecommunications provider has provided all public
notices required under applicable law; and
  • The telecommunications provider has provided notice to
the local government that the 60-day time period has lapsed
and that the application is deemed approved.
A local government may toll the 60-day time period to allow the
local government to make timely requests for information to complete an
application. The 60-day time period may also be extended by mutual
agreement of the telecommunications provider and the local government.
The bill also prohibits a local government from requiring a
telecommunications provider that removes, discontinues, or replaces
telecommunications equipment at an existing wireless
telecommunications facility to file a new application or obtain additional
permits if:
  • The telecommunications provider notifies the local
government of the necessary removal, discontinuance, or
replacement of the telecommunications equipment; and
  • The removal, discontinuance, or replacement of the
telecommunications equipment is not a substantial change
to the facility.
The bill takes effect on January 1, 2026.
