H.R.1094

Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act prohibits private land use restrictions on amateur station antennas.

The Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act amends the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit private land use restrictions that impair amateur operators from operating, installing, or maintaining amateur station antennas. It allows certain restrictions that reasonably accommodate amateur service communications. The Federal Communications Commission must promulgate regulations to implement these changes within 180 days. The bill also provides for a private right of action for violations and prohibits penalties or costs accruing during enforcement actions.
