Neighbors, I hope some of you might be interested in this, and will appreciate knowing about it.
Thanks for considering. ~Jai [image: SEND A LETTER TO LAWMAKERS TODAY] <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODc4ODQwfDU5NzQ3NTE0fDF8YXNhbmFqYWlAdmVyaXpvbi5uZXR8ODA4NDkyOXxodHRwczovL25hdGlvbmFsaGVhbHRoZnJlZWRvbWFjdGlvbi5vcmcvfDB8MHwwfDEwNjF8MHwwfHw4NzUwMTZ8MQ2> <http://smartmailerclick.bisglobal.net/act_linkClick.aspx?sm_guid=ODc4ODQwfDU5NzQ3NTE0fDF8YXNhbmFqYWlAdmVyaXpvbi5uZXR8ODA4NDkzMHxodHRwczovL2FjdGlvbi5uYXRpb25hbGhlYWx0aGZyZWVkb20ub3JnL0RlZmF1bHQuYXNweD9pc2lkPTI2MTd8MHwwfDB8MTA2MXwwfDB8fDg3NTAxNnwx0> *Massachusetts has two bills to allow people to opt-out of smart meter installation on their homes for electric, gas and water utility meters. Take this quick action to protect your privacy and your right to opt out of meters that bathe your home in radiation! * The sister bills H.3551 and S. 2306 "An Act relative to smart meters" are before the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy and must be reported out soon. Smart meters use radiofrequency (RF) radiation to send utility companies information about electricity, water, and gas consumption, and connect users to the Internet of Things. Smart Meter radiation can cause serious health problems, especially for children. In 2018 a study under the National Institutes of Health found “clear evidence” that electromagnetic radiation was associated with both cancer and DNA damage. RF radiation is also associated with anxiety, depression, insomnia and cognitive impairment. Smart meters impinge on privacy and personal liberty issues as they transmit information about your daily living including when someone is home and which appliances and devices you are using. Utility companies can share this data with contractors and government agencies, and your data can also be hacked as it transmits through the air. If these bills are passed, utility companies will have to provide a choice of meter type, to include an electromechanical analog meter with no RF radiation. They would also not be able to charge folks for this choice. Vermont has had a no-fee opt-out since 2012. Written consent would be required for the installation of any wireless meters. Within 90 days of passage of this bill, companies would need to give written notice to all customers as to whether their home currently has a “smart meter.” Please let your own legislators and the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy know today that you support H.3551 and S. 2306. Please share with your MA network, we should all have the right to choose safe utility meters.
