Permitting certain use of county-owned wireless tower

Summary

The bill authorizes West Virginia county commissions to rent or permit use of county‑owned wireless towers to private entities that meet strict security and ownership standards, and it allows public safety agencies and state departments to use tower space at no charge except for actual cost recovery. It blocks any lessee tied to foreign adversaries or terrorist lists, requires non‑compromised cyber and cellular security, and shields counties from liability if they conduct required due‑diligence. The measure seeks to expand communications capacity while safeguarding security and public interests.
