Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act

What this bill does

  • This bill limits homeowners' associations and other private groups from blocking amateur radio antenna installation on personal property.
  • Amateur radio operators are affected, along with homeowners' associations that set community rules.
  • The bill allows reasonable safety and code compliance restrictions but prevents delays or approval requirements that impair antenna use.
