Andrew Campanelli Reviews JMZO Wireless 5G Ordinance

On May 23, 2022, representatives of Pennsylvanians for Safe Technology hosted a Zoom meeting with Andrew Campanelli, Esq., who is a national expert in telecommunications law. Mr. Campanelli reviewed the current version of the JMZO Wireless/5G Antenna Ordinance and summarized several problems including a “fatal gap” that renders the entirety of the ordinance moot! Mr. Campanelli also discussed other “gaps” such as protections against excessive limits of radiation, random testing provisions, effective notices to the public, and ADA compliance issues. He is knowledgeable about Pennsylvania’s Act 50, which represents itself as the guideline to be followed by Townships in the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Campanelli referred this piece of legislation as “hoodwink law” crafted by moneyed interests to benefit the wireless industry that strips local governments of far more power than the state legislature ever intended.

We do understand and appreciate the immense amount of work everyone has done on this ordinance, but it seems many communities in Pennsylvania have overlooked critical information that could have positioned them in the best possible scenario to protect themselves.”
