This bill enacts the "Wireless Broadband Eligible Facility Permitting Act" to provide for uniform municipal regulation of certain wireless facility modifications. The key provisions include: 1) Defining key terms like "eligible facilities request," "base station," and "substantial change"; 2) Requiring municipalities to act on wireless facility applications within specific timeframes set by the Federal Communications Commission; 3) Exempting eligible facilities requests from municipal zoning or discretionary permits, and allowing a deemed grant approval if the municipality fails to act within the required timeframe; and 4) Allowing aggrieved persons to challenge municipal actions or inactions in court on an expedited basis.
