AL HB810

Establishes the "Advanced Broadband Collocation Act" to streamline the process for modifying or adding wireless facilities to existing wireless support structures without requiring new structure construction.

Applications for collocation or modification must comply with site plan, building permit, and safety requirements, but are not subject to additional zoning, land use, or special use permit approvals beyond initial approvals for the wireless support structure.

Collocations and modifications must not increase the height, width, or loading capacity of the support structure, exceed weight limits (certified by a licensed structural engineer), increase equipment compound dimensions, or violate existing conditions of approval.

Local governing authorities cannot require applicants to submit radio frequency analyses, service characteristic documentation, or business justification for collocations, but may require certification that proposed facilities will not interfere with emergency communications.

Local governing authorities must issue a final written decision on complete applications within 90 calendar days of filing, and must notify applicants within 30 days of any information needed to complete applications (with such time not counting toward the 90-day review period).
