Government has a fundamental duty to protect the public’s health and safety. That duty should come before industry convenience or profit. Laws and regulations governing electromagnetic fields (EMF), radiofrequency (RF), and wireless technology should be based on independent, up-to-date scientific review—not shaped or weakened by the industries they regulate.

People should not have to bear potential health risks or losses to their homes and communities without meaningful safeguards. I urge lawmakers to establish clear, enforceable protections that:

Require independent assessment of wireless facilities and devices, including cumulative exposures and sensitive locations such as homes, schools, and hospitals.

Set exposure limits using transparent, regularly reviewed scientific evidence, with appropriate protection for children and other potentially more vulnerable groups.

Require public notice, access to monitoring results, and meaningful opportunities for community input before facilities are approved or substantially modified.

Preserve local authority to consider siting, safety, and community impacts.

Provide a fair process for investigating and addressing documented effects on health, property use, and property values.

These protections should be precautionary, transparent, and enforceable. When the evidence is uncertain, government should not simply assume that the public must accept the risk. It should require independent review, disclose the evidence, and put people’s health and homes ahead of industry interests.
