Nebraska LB18 sets rules for utility pole installations under the Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act.

Nebraska LB18 amends the Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act to establish specific requirements for utility pole installations. It mandates that any new or modified utility pole must not exceed certain height limits. Authorities must ensure installations comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, do not obstruct travel or public safety, and do not hinder the legal use of the right-of-way. The bill also allows authorities to require design or concealment measures in historic districts and to charge wireless providers for repairs to rights-of-way.
