5G UPGRADE Act of 2025

This bill changes federal law on requests to modify existing wireless towers and base stations. If a state or local government does not approve such a request, or explain in writing why it does not qualify, within 60 days, the request is treated as approved. The 60-day clock can be paused if the government notifies the applicant within set deadlines that required information is missing, or if both sides agree. The bill limits what documents governments may require, bars pre-application steps, lets applicants sue in federal district court, and directs the Federal Communications Commission to issue rules within 180 days.
