Bill > H587

This bill aims to reduce exposures to non-ionizing radiation from wireless connectivity and electricity in public schools. It requires public schools to turn off wireless connectivity and use hard-wired Internet connections where feasible, and to set aside segregated areas for any necessary wireless use by staff or students. The bill also requires schools to have a policy to limit exposures to non-ionizing radiation from both wireless and electrical sources, with the policy developed and reviewed by a local committee that includes student guardians, parents, and teachers. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to explicitly state that ensuring the environmental health and safety of public school classrooms is an intent of the law.
