CTIA Supports California AB-57

The CTIA supports California Assembly bill 57 because it would create "needed certainty in the process of constructing and updating wireless infrastructure" in California, said the organization in a letter to the Assembly Local Government Committee. The bill lets local governments retain full authority to review or deny a wireless facility application as they see fit, the association said May 5. The bill prevents local government inaction from standing in the way of public access to wireless communications, said CTIA. The law aligns California with FCC 2009 "shot clock" rules, it said.
