       NRS 278.02085  Amateur radio: Limitations 
on restrictions on amateur service 
communications; limitations on regulation of 
station antenna structures; exception.

       1.  A governing body shall not adopt an 
ordinance, regulation or plan or take any other 
action that precludes amateur service 
communications or that in any other manner does 
not conform to the provisions of 47 C.F.R. § 
97.15 and the limited preemption entitled 
“Amateur Radio Preemption, 101 F.C.C. 2d 952 
(1985)” as issued by the Federal Communications Commission.

       2.  If a governing body adopts an 
ordinance, regulation or plan or takes any other 
action that regulates the placement, screening or 
height of a station antenna structure based on 
health, safety or aesthetic considerations, the 
ordinance, regulation, plan or action must:

       (a) Reasonably accommodate amateur service communications; and

       (b) Constitute the minimum level of 
regulation practicable to carry out the 
legitimate purpose of the governing body.

       3.  The provisions of this section do not 
apply to any district organized pursuant to 
federal, state or local law for the purpose of 
historic or architectural preservation.

       4.  Any ordinance, regulation or plan 
adopted by or other action taken by a governing 
body in violation of the provisions of this section is void.

       5.  As used in this section:

       (a) “Amateur radio services” has the 
meaning ascribed to it in 47 C.F.R. § 97.3.

       (b) “Amateur service communications” means 
communications carried out by one or more of the amateur radio services.

       (c) “Amateur station” has the meaning 
ascribed to it in 47 C.F.R. § 97.3.

       (d) “Station antenna structure” means the 
antenna that serves an amateur station, including 
such appurtenances and other structures as may be 
necessary to support, stabilize, raise, lower or otherwise adjust the antenna.
