Bill > HR1058

This bill, the Wireless Resiliency and Flexible Investment Act, amends the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 to codify a 60-day timeline for state or local governments to approve certain "eligible facilities requests" related to modifications of existing wireless towers, base stations, or eligible support structures. The bill defines an "eligible facilities request" as a request involving collocation of new transmission equipment, removal of transmission equipment, replacement of transmission equipment, or placement/modification/construction of equipment that improves the resiliency of the wireless infrastructure and provides a direct benefit to public safety. The bill also specifies when a request is considered complete and received by a state or local government. Finally, the bill requires the Federal Communications Commission to issue final rules implementing these changes within 180 days of the bill's enactment.
