Subject: [sddxc] SB 1714 California PRB-1, your support is needed
There is a bill now in Committee in the California Legislature SB 1714
which at first was an attempt to have PRB-1 limited federal preemption
codified in the California Government Code. A well organized opposition
has stripped the language which would have precluded a city of County
zoning regulation form regulating ham radio antenna below 75 feet.
Those opposing the bill are well organized, It is critical to the
eventual passage of a ham radio friendly statute for the voice of all
amateur radio operators, and their supporters, such as those agencies
and groups which benefit ad support amateur emergency communications to
write, E-mail and call their Assemblyperson to support the passage of SB
1714.
There are at least two ways to find out who your assemblymember and what
there address is:
1. Look in the government pages of your local telephone book.
There you will find the local office of the assemblymember. Call the
local office, and ask for the assemblymember's Sacramento office
address.
2. Look at the web page http://www.assembly.ca.gov, and follow
the "Find My District" link on the left side of the page. It will ask
you for your street address, and return the name and contact information
for your assemblymember.
Brad Wyatt, retired ARRL Pacific Division Director, wrote a letter to
his assemblymember and the Local government Committee, which ARRL
Volunteer Counsel K6HS has modified slightly to make "generic" and which
is a good example of what you might say to your assemblymember. In
writing your letter, put it in your own words to the extent possible.
Otherwise, use parts of it or just copy it.
Be sure to send a copy of your letter to the:
Assembly Local Government Committee
1020 N Street, Room 157
Sacramento, CA 95814.
Here is the letter:
**************
Dear Assemblymember <your member>
Senate bill SB-1714 has passed the State Senate, and is now before the
Assembly Local Government Committee.
I support this bill and am asking you to support and co-sponsor the
bill. Antennas and towers are key to successful communications for the
103,000 Amateur Radio operators in the State of California who are
proficiency tested and licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission.
As you may know, some cities, towns, and counties have developed land
use standards which are so restrictive as to literally prohibit Amateur
Radio communication. This bill would be consistent with and complement
FCC Regulations, Part 97.15, in requiring municipalities to accommodate
Amateur Radio.
The importance of Amateur Radio to California and the rest of the
country is expressed well in the FCC rules:
§97.1 Basis and purpose.
The rules and regulations in this Part are designed to provide an
amateur radio service having a fundamental purpose as expressed in the
following principles:
(a) Recognition and enhancement of the value of the amateur service to
the public as a voluntary noncommercial communication service,
particularly with respect to providing emergency communications.
(b) Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven ability to
contribute to the advancement of the radio art.
(c) Encouragement and improvement of the amateur service through rules
which provide for advancing skills in both the communications and
technical phases of the art.
(d) Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service
of trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts.
(e) Continuation and extension of the amateur's unique ability to
enhance international goodwill.
These objectives cannot be achieved if Amateurs are precluded from
