The resolution urges Congress and the President of the United States to enact the Securing Local Communities Input in Broadband Development Act, which was introduced by Representative Christopher H. Smith in April 2024. This proposed legislation aims to nullify certain actions taken by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that limit local governments' input on broadband infrastructure development, particularly regarding the construction of 5G telecommunications facilities. The resolution highlights concerns in New Jersey, where Verizon Wireless is seeking to build multiple 5G towers, emphasizing the need for a balance between local community interests and the demands of telecommunications providers.

By passing this resolution, the State of New Jersey seeks to ensure that local governments have a say in the deployment of broadband infrastructure, thereby addressing community concerns and needs. The resolution calls for immediate action and requests that copies be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress from New Jersey, to advocate for the enactment of the Act.
