Gov. Wolf signed a bill to accelerate 5G infrastructure construction in PA
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed the Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act, or House Bill 1621, on Wednesday, passing new regulation for small cell deployment that will streamline new 5G infrastructure construction. “It is very difficult and inefficient to develop networks at scale while complying with a patchwork of rules,” wrote Tom Musgrove, the Government Affairs Manager for the Central Region at Crown Castle. “HB1621 creates a standard template on how to process small cell applications and creates predictable timeframes for a municipality to approve a small cell application while affording municipalities reasonable local controls.”
