AI Summary

This bill establishes a special commission to examine the health impacts of electromagnetic fields, including those from cellular devices, smart meters, Wi-Fi, and other sources. The commission will investigate the effects on various health conditions, such as reproductive systems, brain function, sleep disorders, and cancer, and whether certain groups like children and the elderly are more vulnerable.
