AI Summary
This bill, the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act of 2022, would allow federal and state correctional facilities to use jamming equipment to prevent wireless communications to and from contraband devices or individuals held in the facility. The bill defines a "jamming system" as equipment and antennas designed to disrupt, prevent, or interfere with wireless communications within the correctional facility. The Federal Communications Commission would be prohibited from preventing the use of these jamming systems, as long as the facility consults with local law enforcement, notifies the Bureau of Prisons, and the state facility funds the entire cost of operating the system.
