AI Summary
This bill prohibits the installation of certain wireless communication equipment on or near public school buildings. Specifically, the bill bans the placement of 4G and 5G main transmission antennas, support antennas, and large equipment used to support 4G or 5G transmission on school buildings, rooftops, adjacent structures, or within 1,500 feet of a school building. The prohibition applies to new equipment installed after the bill's effective date and does not apply to equipment already in place. The bill does allow for small internet routers, with exceptions for routers weighing 15 pounds or more or those used exclusively for 4G or 5G service. The legislation defines 4G and 5G as the fourth and fifth generations of broadband cellular network technology, respectively. The purpose appears to be limiting potential health or safety concerns related to high-powered cellular transmission equipment near schools, though the specific rationale is not explicitly stated in the bill text.
