- SB QST ARL ARLB016
- ARLB016 Georgia bill introduced
-
- A bill introduced in the Georgia Legislature that would eliminate
- the effect of restrictive property covenants on amateurs is believed
- to be the first of its type in the nation, according to Georgia
- Section Manager Jim Altman, N4UCK.
-
- The bill, H.B. 1134, would prevent all new and renewed covenants
- from regulating, controlling, or restricting antennas owned and
- operated by licensed amateurs in the state.
-
- Altman said that, in Georgia, all restrictive covenants have a life
- of 20 years, but can be renewed. This law, in banning new and
- renewed covenants, would leave the existing covenants in place until
- their natural expiration, and prevent new ones. Over the next 20
- years, all existing covenants would disappear.
-
- The bill was initially referred to the State Bar committee on real
- property law, which gave the measure a ''do pass'' recommendation.
-
- Amateurs in Georgia are urged to contact their state legislators and
- urge their support of H.B. 1134. For more information, contact
- Altman or the Regulatory Information Branch at ARRL Headquarters.
