H 3483 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act halting close proximity antennas and higher frequencies to enforce RadLimits

HD 3014 prohibits the use of wireless antennas (including microcells and small cell networks) and frequencies above 6 GHz near homes, schools, hospitals, and sensitive areas within 400 meters. It establishes a new Radiation Regulatory Agency to oversee the phased removal of these facilities, require detailed reporting from wireless providers, and promote wired connectivity alternatives. The bill mandates specific timelines for removing microcells in high-risk zones (like fire-prone areas) and limiting high-frequency use in parks, schools, and residential zones. Wireless providers must submit location, frequency, and ownership details to a public database as part of compliance. The transition includes temporary allowances for public safety and utility services during the shift to safer infrastructure.
