[HATS] CSHB 1148

[TOM BLACKWELL]

I have here a copy of the (long awaited) Committee Substitute, which was provided
to me by the Clerk of the Texas House County Affairs Committee.  It says:


     Sec. 35.112.  APPLICABILITY.  This subchapter applies only to a person
     proposing to construct a wireless communication facility in this state
     for the purpose of doing business for profit through the wireless
     communication facility.

In my view, this excludes amateurs, and the non-commercial broadcasters as well.

As for the others, the terms of the bill have been changed to read ... "a wireless
communication facility that is taller than 100 feet and shorter than 200 feet..."
It provides for notices of construction and marking of the facilities with "two
markings" and "at least one light."  Commercial towers not used for more than two
years must be removed if the land is sold.
