Vermont H0751 revises telecommunications siting regulations, requiring permits for new facilities and setting RF-radiation safety limits.

Vermont H0751 modifies the siting process for telecommunications facilities, mandating permits for new structures and defining "development" to include small cell antennas. It repeals the certificate of public good requirement for communications facilities and establishes RF-radiation safety limits to protect wildlife and flora. The bill also requires poles or structures in public rights-of-way holding RF-radiating antennas to be labeled. The Department of Public Service must assist the Land Use Review Board in enforcing permit conditions and monitoring RF emissions.
