SUMMARY:

Local planning commissions; approval of telecommunications facilities. Requires local planning commissions' determinations concerning proposed telecommunications facilities to comply with the requirements of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996. The bill further stipulates that a telecommunications facility application shall be deemed approved if a commission fails to act on it within 90 days of its submission unless the governing body or the applicant has authorized an extension of time. A governing body may not grant an extension that is longer than 60 days. If the commission has not acted on the application by the end of the extension, the application is deemed approved.
