Bill > H1536

This bill establishes new regulations for unauthorized radio telecommunication, which refers to any transmission or reception of signals by radio. It defines "emission" as radiation produced by a radio transmitting station and "license" as a radio frequency assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for AM or FM radio stations. The bill prohibits any person from making or causing unauthorized radio transmissions or interfering with public or commercial radio stations that are licensed by the FCC. This includes transmitting without an FCC license or exemption, or engaging in any action that causes or enables unlicensed transmissions or interference. The Attorney General is empowered to take legal action against violators, and individuals can sue for money damages, which may include double or treble damages and attorney fees, as well as seek injunctive relief and forfeiture of property used in the violation, though this will not affect existing security interests.
