Bill > HR2350

This bill, known as the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act of 2025, would allow State and Federal correctional facilities to use cellphone jamming systems within their housing facilities, despite current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations that might prohibit such actions. Specifically, the bill defines a "jamming system" as equipment designed to disrupt or interfere with wireless communications within a correctional facility, including technical components like antennas and cabling. The bill would permit correctional facilities to jam wireless communications to and from contraband devices or communications involving individuals held in the facility, with several key requirements: the jamming must be limited to housing facilities, State facilities must fund their own systems entirely, and facilities must consult with local law enforcement and public safety officials before implementation and notify the Director of the Bureau of Prisons about the system's operation. The primary purpose of the bill appears to be preventing unauthorized cellphone use in correctional facilities, which can potentially facilitate illegal activities or pose security risks.
