AJR 192 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress and U.S. President to enact "Securing Local Communities Input in Broadband Development Act."

AJR 192 is a New Jersey state resolution urging Congress and the U.S. President to pass the federal "Securing Local Communities Input in Broadband Development Act." It directly affects local governments and communities by seeking to prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from limiting their input on broadband infrastructure projects, including 5G tower construction. The resolution highlights that current FCC rules (like the 2023 "Accelerating Wireless and Wireline Broadband Deployment" order) preempt local input on aesthetics and timelines, and asks Congress to remove this FCC authority. It does not create new law but requests federal action to balance community concerns with broadband deployment needs.
