Bill > A3998

Introduced Session

This bill establishes the "5G Network and Development Task Force" to study and develop recommendations on how to harmonize the approaching rollout of "5th Generation" (5G) wireless networks and future development within the State. Before 5G networks begin to be rolled out, the requirements for building in the State are going to have to be updated in order to ensure that these networks are not disrupted by future development. This task force would be charged with laying critical groundwork in anticipation of the shift to 5G network technology. The task force would consist of five members as follows: (1) the Commissioner of Community Affairs, or a designee; (2) the President of the Board of Public Utilities, or a designee; (3) one member who is a representative of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, appointed by the Governor; (4) one public member appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the President of the Senate; and (5) one public member appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Speaker of the General Assembly. The task force would have one year from the bill's effective date to submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature setting forth the results of its studies and recommendations. The task force would expire upon the submission of this report.
