(Update 11:52 a.m. Okay, I underestimated the time it takes to filter through and write up how bad the amendment to AB 162 really is in impact. I’m currently working on a photo sim for my post. I’ll try and have this done by 1 p.m. today.)
(UPDATE: 11:01 a.m.: I’m still working on my analysis…I expect to have it complete within the next 30 minutes. Please check back at 11:30 a.m. -Jonathan)
The purpose of this post is to give you a heads up that A.B. 162, which should be called the ‘Wireless Industry Public Exclusion Act’ (the WIPE ACT) was amended yesterday by Assembly Member Holden, the bill’s sponsor. The amendments to the WIPE ACT make it far worse, and the lipstick-on-a-pig cosmetic changes proposed cannot stand in the face of existing federal law.
I will have a fare more complete analysis of the amended bill up on this website later this morning. For now, however, the aware that the amendments to the WIPE ACT make it for worse than it was before.
Check back about 11:00 a.m. for a more detailed review.
