April 20, 2026 · Grassroots Opposition Sinks Bill to Limit Local Control Over Cell Towers — for Now
After facing opposition from local governments and health freedom advocates, and failing to garner enough support from Republican representatives, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Rules postponed today’s scheduled vote on H.R. 2289, the American Broadband Deployment Act of 2025 a bill intended to strip local governments of the authority to reject the installation of unwanted cell towers near homes, schools and parks in their communities.
The proposed bill included language stating that local governments “may not deny, and shall approve” applications for most cell towers and antennas. Miriam Eckenfels, director of the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) & Wireless Program, credited “grassroots advocacy groups, local governments, and MAHA leaders” with helping to pause the bill.
Thank you to all who contacted their Representatives!
