This bill establishes a one-year moratorium on the approval of applications for right-of-way and small wireless facility permits in Minnesota, specifically to conduct a comprehensive study on the health, environmental, and economic effects of 5G technology. During this period, agencies will continue to receive and review applications but will not issue any permits. The bill mandates that the commissioner of health lead a study on the health risks associated with 5G, while other commissioners will evaluate its impact on property values, the environment, and the availability of liability insurance for right-of-way users.

Additionally, the bill requires a report detailing the findings and recommendations from these studies to be submitted to relevant legislative committees by December 1, 2025. If the report indicates adverse health effects from 5G technology, the state may halt all 5G installations until a comprehensive policy is developed to mitigate these risks. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after its final enactment and will apply to all relevant applications filed or received thereafter.
