Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill HB 1390 clarifies that municipalities in Illinois cannot pass laws that regulate the placement, appearance, or height of antennas used for amateur radio communications unless those regulations meet specific criteria for public health, safety, or aesthetic purposes. It emphasizes that any regulations must be the least restrictive necessary to achieve their goals and must consider the needs of amateur radio operators. This change is important because it protects the interests of amateur radio users while ensuring that local governments can still address valid community concerns.

Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no ordinance or resolution may be adopted or enforced by a municipality after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly that affects the placement, screening, or height of antennas or antenna support structures that are used for amateur radio communications unless the ordinance or resolution: (i) has a reasonable and clearly defined aesthetic, public health, or safety objective and represents the minimum practical regulation that is necessary to accomplish the objectives; and (ii) reasonably accommodates amateur radio communications. A municipality may not regulate the antennas or antenna support structures that are used for amateur radio communications in a manner inconsistent with this Section.
