AB 965 allows wireless companies to each dump up to 25 or 50 (depending on municipality size) antenna applications on local governments at once, creating unreasonable and unnecessary permitting obligations.   Ask for a NO vote.

AB 1065 allows wireless companies to access state and federal funds intended to provide high quality wired broadband services to underserved communities. Ask for a NO vote!

Please feel free to copy and paste some or all of the points below in your letter, but please make it your own!  Send to your state representatives and their legislative directors!

• AB 965 places unnecessary and burdensome obligations on local governments to approve large batches of antenna applications quickly, or else have them "deemed approved."
   

• AB 965 will hinder local government’s efforts to protect public health and safety by forcing local officials to rush through dozens of applications.
   

• AB 965 is unnecessary. The FCC has already established shot clocks and local governments have already been working collaboratively with the industry and have improved processes while maintaining important local safeguards.
   

• AB 965 will result in many more small cell antennas near homes, schools, and parks, emitting harmful radiation 24/7 whether you use the service or not!

 

VOTE NO ON 965!

​

​

• AB 1065 will undermine the national effort to close the digital divide by diverting public funds from fiberoptic projects to wireless projects. Wireless broadband is not high quality!
   

• AB 1065 will perpetuate the digital divide, leaving many communities with a second-rate broadband service that's slow, unreliable, expensive and hazardous. 
   

• AB 1065 will mean more antennas negatively impacting property values and undermining climate goals, since wireless connections use much more energy than wired connections.
   

• AB 1065 allows wireless companies to use federal and state funds to line their own pockets. 

VOTE NO ON 1065!
