Bill > HB522

This bill establishes a commission to study the environmental and health effects of evolving 5G technology, which includes the use of earlier generation technologies. The commission will examine the advantages and risks associated with 5G technology, with a focus on its environmental impact and potential health effects, particularly on children, fetuses, the elderly, and those with existing health compromises. The commission will prepare and publish an interim and final report of its findings and recommendations, which will outline the advantages and risks of 5G technology, develop a strategy to limit radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure if deemed necessary, and consider alternatives to 5G technology that will accelerate information flow speeds and volumes without the use of electromagnetic waves that emit high levels of radiation.
