Bill Summary
This bill requires the disclosure of cellular telephone transmitters upon the lease or sale of certain residential property. Under the bill, the municipal clerk of each municipality would be required to maintain and make available a list identifying the location of each cellular telephone transmitter within the municipality. Any person who owns, leases, or maintains a cellular telephone transmitter would be required to annually disclose the location of each transmitter to the municipality in which it is located. The bill provides that the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs would be responsible for specifying how municipalities maintain and make available these lists. Most notably, upon entering into a contract for the sale of any residential real property that is located within 100 feet of a cellular telephone transmitter, the seller would be required to provide a written statement to the buyer that discloses the location of a cellular telephone transmitter. Thereafter, the purchaser may cancel the contract by sending a written notice of cancellation, by certified mail, to the seller within five business days from the date the contract is executed. Similarly, when a person offers for rent a residential dwelling unit that is located within 100 feet of a cellular telephone transmitter, the person would be required to include a prominently displayed provision in the lease or renewal agreement that discloses the location of the cellular telephone transmitter. Any person who fails to disclose the presence of a cellular telephone transmitter would be subject to a fine of up to $500 for each violation. However, a person would not be subject to a penalty if the location of a cellular telephone transmitter was not included in the list made available by the municipal clerk. The bill defines a "cellular telephone transmitter" as any device, including the building or structure on which the device is located, that transmits and receives radiofrequency signals to create a cell in a cellular telephone network.
AI Summary
This bill requires sellers and landlords to disclose the presence of cellular telephone transmitters, defined as any device that transmits and receives radiofrequency signals for a cellular network, when selling or leasing residential property located within 100 feet of such a transmitter. Municipal clerks will maintain public lists of these transmitters, and owners or lessees of transmitters must annually report their locations to the municipality. The Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs will specify how these lists are maintained and made available. If a seller fails to disclose a transmitter's location, the buyer has five business days to cancel the sale contract. Similarly, landlords must prominently include this disclosure in lease agreements. Violators face fines up to $500, but penalties are waived if the transmitter's location was not on the municipal clerk's list.
