Bill Summary
For legislation to ban especially dangerous wireless facilities, emissions, and products. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ban especially dangerous wireless facilities, emissions, and products in Massachusetts. It requires the state's Department of Public Health to prepare a timeline for the removal of such wireless facilities and products, starting with a ban on wireless baby monitors, small cell facilities, and higher-end 5G frequencies. The department may proceed to ban other types of non-ionizing radiation equipment or products, using the principles of reverse onus (where the burden of proof is on the proponents to show safety) and alternative assessment (no risky action if a safer alternative exists). The department is also allowed to refer to the precautionary principle and regulations from other countries, as well as advice from medical and scientific experts, in shaping the rules and regulations for the commonwealth.
