SUMMARY:

Placement of amateur radio antennas. Requires local ordinances involving the placement, screening or height of antennas to reasonably accommodate amateur radio antennas and to impose the minimum regulation necessary to accomplish the locality's legitimate purpose. No local ordinance shall (i) restrict amateur radio antenna height to less than 200 feet above ground level less (in less densely populated localities) or 75 feet above ground level (in more densely populated localities) as permitted by the Federal Communications Commission or (ii) restrict the number of support structures. Localities may continue to regulate amateur radio antennas with regard to certain screening, setback, placement, and health and safety requirements.
