H.R. 3279 · 118th Congress
WIRELESS Leadership Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Winning the International Race for Economic Leadership and Expanding Service to Support Leadership Act or the WIRELESS Leadership Act
This bill limits the authority of a state or locality to regulate the placement, construction, or modification of personal wireless service facilities.
The bill revises the prohibition on states or localities discriminating among providers of a personal wireless service to state that providing exclusive or preferential use of facilities to a particular class of providers is prohibited.
However, states or localities may establish reasonable and nondiscriminatory requirements for engineering standards, safety, and aesthetics. They may also charge reasonable, cost-based fees for (1) reviewing requests to place, construct, or modify personal wireless service facilities; or (2) using property owned or managed by the state or locality for placing, constructing, or modifying a facility.
Additionally, states and localities must respond to requests to place, construct, or modify facilities by specified deadlines. If a decision is not made by the deadline, the request is deemed to be approved.
