What’s in it

Code chapter 8C, the “Iowa Cell Siting Act”, provides uniform rules and limitations for the installation or siting of wireless facilities, including uniform rules and limitations related to applications, certain changes, the use of public lands for towers and transmission equipment, the location of utility poles, permits for small wireless facilities, the removal of small wireless facilities, and certain height limitations. This bill repeals the “Iowa Cell Siting Act” and allows counties and cities to establish standards and requirements regarding the installation or siting of wireless facilities. The bill defines “wireless facility” to mean equipment at a fixed location that enables the provision of wireless telecommunications services or the infrastructure required for such services.
