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 about the FCC's previous rulings that preempt state and local regulations, which could undermine community input and aesthetic considerations in the deployment of new technologies.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of balancing the needs of local communities with the interests of telecommunications providers, particularly in light of ongoing projects, such as Verizon Wireless's plans to build multiple 5G towers in New Jersey. It calls for a collaborative approach to broadband development that respects local governance and input, rather than imposing strict timelines and regulations that may not align with community concerns. The resolution will be transmitted to key federal officials and members of Congress to advocate for the passage of the Act.
