Tennessee § 13-24-403 - Construction and applicability of part.

§ 13-24-403. Construction and applicability of part.

This part shall be construed to maximize investment in wireless connectivity across the state by creating a uniform and predictable framework that limits local obstacles to deployment of small wireless facilities in the ROW and to encourage, where feasible, shared use of public infrastructure and colocation in a manner that is the most technology neutral and nondiscriminatory. This part does not apply to: Deployment of infrastructure outside of the ROW; or Taller towers or monopoles traditionally used to provide wireless services that are governed by §§ 13-24-304 and 13-24-305. Acts 2018, ch. 819, § 1. Compiler's Notes. For the Preamble to the act concerning supporting emerging wireless technologies, please refer to Acts 2018, ch. 819. Acts 2018, ch. 819, § 4 provided that: (a) All applications to deploy or colocate small wireless facilities that are pending on April 24, 2018, shall be granted or denied consistent with the substantive requirements of this act within either ninety (90) days of April 24, 2018, or ninety (90) days from the date such applications were originally submitted, whichever is later. For all applications submitted after April 24, 2018, but before July 1, 2018, the applicable review periods shall not begin to run until July 1, 2018.
