As stewards of our shared environment, the EHT will monitor the 119th Congress (2025-2026) and the bills before it. These bills will have the power to greatly increase our exposure to wireless radiation, remove long-standing protections, as well as:

• Preempt local zoning authority on the placement of antennas

• Exempt most wireless deployments from certain environmental and historic preservation laws

• Encourage deployment on federal land, including National Forests and National Parks

• Increase availability of spectrum for commercial use by reallocating from federal users

• Make federal broadband funds available for wireless deployment

• Fast-track approvals for satellite networks

• Encourage wireless radiation in agriculture, which depends on pollinators
