CABLE Expansion Act
This bill requires local governments to approve cable infrastructure requests within 90 days (for pole attachments) or 150 days (for other public rights-of-way) or deny them with written justification. It directly affects cable companies seeking permits and local governments managing public rights-of-way for cable service. Key provisions include prohibiting delays via moratoriums, mandating evidence-based denials, and requiring public release of denial records. The law aims to streamline permitting for cable service expansion without altering service content or funding.
