What it does
The Cellphone Jamming Reform Act of 2025 would allow state and federal correctional facilities to operate jamming systems to disrupt wireless communications from contraband devices or by individuals held in the facility, without interference from the Federal Communications Commission. The bill applies specifically to jamming systems used within housing areas of prisons, jails, or similar facilities, requiring states to fund state-operated systems and mandating that facilities consult with local law enforcement and notify the Bureau of Prisons before implementation. It prohibits the FCC from blocking such operations, subject to these conditions.
