BROADBAND Leadership Act

This bill limits how state and local governments can regulate telecommunications facilities like cell towers and internet infrastructure. States and cities cannot discriminate between different telecom companies or technologies, and they cannot create rules that effectively block telecommunications services. However, they can charge reasonable fees to review applications and for using government property. The bill sets deadlines for governments to respond to requests for building or modifying telecom facilities, and if they don't respond on time, the request is automatically approved. People who think a state or local government violated these rules can ask courts to review the situation quickly.
