What’s in it
This bill relates to prohibitions on the actions of an authority under the Iowa cell siting Act. The bill strikes Code section 8C.3, subsection 5, which prohibits an authority from imposing environmental testing, sampling, or monitoring requirements, or other compliance measures, for radio frequency emissions from transmission equipment that are categorically excluded under the federal communications commission’s rules for radio frequency emissions. In addition, the bill strikes Code section 8C.3, subsection 7, which prohibits an authority from rejecting an application, in whole or in part, based on perceived or alleged environmental effects of radio frequency emissions.
