Please support Bill 194. Council Member Evans introduced the bill in response to the needs of the
community. It includes 5G small wireless facilities which must be regulated. Hawaii county already passed
a resolution to halt 5G. Bill 194 follows up on that by providing necessary regulations that include 5G small
cells.
Without this legislation big telecom can do whatever they want. No one wants a tower in their
neighborhood without their knowledge or consent. Right now they are popping up everywhere. They reduce
property values and cause negative health effects. Permit requirements like these are necessary for our
safety.
Regulating cell towers and antennas is necessary to protect us from their uncontrolled deployment at
schools and other areas where people are exposed for long periods of time. Dozens of jurisdictions across
the country have adopted laws protecting people and the environment from the EMF radiation caused by
wireless systems.
