What’s in it
AI summary Currently, the rules for where wireless towers and equipment can be placed are set to expire in 2025. This bill would push that expiration date back to July 1, 2035. This change keeps the existing regulations in place for ten more years.1
Read the official explanation
The Iowa cell siting Act (ICSA) regulates the placement of wireless facilities and associated infrastructure. Code section 8C.9 currently repeals the ICSA on July 1, 2025. This bill extends the future repeal date of the ICSA to July 1, 2035.
Why it matters. Wireless facility providers and local governments will continue to follow the current rules for placing cell towers and related infrastructure. This change extends the period these regulations remain in effect from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2035.2
