What is PRB-1�
Update.. March 27, 2008� Bill has passed both KS senate & House..
Read the actuall Kansas proposal by clicking this now…. PRB-1, cited as “Amateur Radio Preemption, 101 FCC2d 952 (1985),” is a limited preemption of local zoning ordinances. It delineates three rules for local municipalities to follow in regulating antenna structures: (1) state and local regulations that operate to preclude amateur communications are in direct conflict with federal objectives and must be preempted; (2) local regulations that involve placement, screening or height of antennas based on health, safety or aesthetic considerations must be crafted to reasonably accommodate amateur communications; and (3) such local regulations must represent the minimum practicable regulation to accomplish the local authority’s legitimate purpose. The heart of PRB-1 is codified in the FCC Rules [97.15(e)]. Of course, what is “reasonable” depends on the circumstances! For suggestions about what to do when you are faced with a restrictive ordinance, see “Interacting with Municipal Officials”, at this link: http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/local/prb-1_program.html

History
On February 8, 2000 House Bill 2644 came up as a topic in the Kansas Legislature under PRB-1, which related to public safety. There were some concerns on restrictions in HB 2644 relating to the placement and erection of towers and antennas used for amateur radio communication. This Bill did NOT pass. Now, eight years later, it�s time for PRB-1 to be reconsidered. Your interest, action & motivation will assure its passage in 2008.
