Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act prohibits certain 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. Exceptions include restrictions requiring compliance with manufacturer specifications, zoning ordinances, and building codes. The bill also allows for a private right of action for harmed individuals, mandates a stay of enforcement during compliance determinations, and prohibits the accrual of penalties or costs during such determinations.
