Bill Summary
Relative to an unauthorized radio telecommunication
AI Summary
This bill defines key terms like "emission" (radiation from a radio station), "license" (Federal Communications Commission-assigned radio frequencies for AM and FM stations), "person" (any individual or entity), and "radio telecommunication" (any transmission or reception of signals via various electromagnetic systems). It then prohibits any unauthorized radio telecommunication or emission that interferes with a licensed public or commercial radio station. Specifically, no person can make such transmissions without a license or exemption from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), nor can they cause or enable unlicensed transmissions or interference. Individuals or entities can pursue legal action in superior court for money damages, injunctions, or forfeiture of property used in violation of these provisions, with protections for secured creditors.
