SB 99 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING THE INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWERS NEAR SCHOOLS.

SB 99 prohibits telecom companies from installing or replacing cell towers within 150 yards of any school. This directly affects telecommunications providers planning new towers or replacements near school properties. The bill creates a mandatory buffer zone, requiring all such towers to be located farther than 150 yards from school boundaries. It applies to both new installations and the replacement of existing towers near schools.
