The bill proposes amendments to the 1937 PA 306, aiming to regulate the installation of certain security devices and the construction, reconstruction, and remodeling of school buildings or their additions. Specifically, the bill seeks to prohibit the installation of 4G or 5G main transmission antennas, related equipment of 6 cubic feet or larger, and any antenna supporting 4G or 5G transmission within 1,500 feet of a school building. However, it allows for the installation of small internet routers under specific conditions.
