A 3147 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Enacts the wireless facility siting act

This bill establishes a statewide process for cities, towns, and villages to review applications for cell towers and wireless facilities. Municipalities without existing rules must hold public hearings within 90 days of an application and issue a decision within 62 days, while requiring applicants to notify nearby residents and pay fees for permits and technical reviews. The law sets standards for review, including considerations for historic areas, scenic locations, and aesthetics, and defines key terms like "wireless facility" to guide the process. Municipalities may adopt stricter rules than the state minimum if they choose.
