Chase-SB 849 Senator Amanda Chase is sponsoring a bill to stop the installation of smart/wireless meters in your home/business without consent. Smart meters transmit toxic electromagnetic radiation to living spaces. The meters make people ill and many are unaware that they have a smart meter on their home. This bill mandates utility companies to inform you if you have a smart meter on your home and instructs the utility at your request to remove it at no cost to you and prevents utilities from installing these meters without your consent beginning July 1, 2023.
This bill will be heard in the Commerce Committee.
Talking points from stopsmartmeters.org
Cancer & RF Radiation. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) from non-ionizing radiation-emitting devices (such as “smart” meters, cell phones, and wifi) are a Class 2B possible cancer causing agent in the same category as lead, DDT, and chloroform. Studies show DNA breaks and damage.
“Smart” meters pulse RF radiation up to 190,000 times/ day at levels hundreds of times stronger than that which have been found to cause serious health problems. Children, pregnant women, seniors, those with immune deficiencies, medical conditions, pacemakers and implants are especially at risk.
Upon installation of smart meters and infrastructure, some people report headaches, ringing ears, dizziness, breathing problems, insomnia, nausea, cognitive problems, memory loss, muscle spasms, rashes, heart problems, and even seizures. Some have had to abandon their homes. Electro-Hypersensitivity (EHS) increases with exposure.
Time bomb. Peer-reviewed science confirms many harmful effects of EMF emitting technologies like smart meters. At first, the dangers of smoking and asbestos were ignored. Many illnesses, like cancer, take years to develop. Will you allow the utilities to put your family’s health at risk?
“Adverse neurological effects have been reported in people who sustain close proximity to wireless meters, especially under 10 feet,” say 54 experts in 20 countries, including Joel Moskowitz of UC Berkeley School of Public Health and David Carpenter, Director, University of Albany NY Institute for Health and the Environment.
Please contact your legislator and members of the Senate and House Commerce Committee. Ask them to support this bill. Call the members and email them.
