Bill overview
This bill aims to allow state and federal correctional facilities to use jamming systems to block cell phone signals within their facilities. It specifically prevents the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from interfering with these systems, allowing them to be used to prevent communication with contraband devices or between inmates and the outside. The bill also establishes requirements for the operation of these systems, including limitations on their location and the need for consultation with local law enforcement.
