Findings and Purposes. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress make the fol- lowing findings: (1) The placement of commercial tele- communications, radio, or television towers near homes can greatly reduce the value of such homes, destroy the views from such homes, and reduce substantially the desire to live in such homes. (2) States and localities should be able to exercise control over the construction and location of such towers through the use of zoning, planned growth, and other controls relating to the protection of the environ- ment and public safety. (3) There are alternatives to the construc- tion of additional telecommunications tow- ers to meet telecommunications needs, in- cluding the co-location of antennae on exist- ing towers and the use of alternative tech- nologies. (4) On August 19, 1997, the Federal Commu- nications Commission issued a proposed rule, MM Docket No. 97–182, which would preempt the application of State and local zoning and land use ordinances regarding the placement of telecommunications towers. It is in the interest of the Nation that the Commission not adopt this rule. (5) It is in the interest of the Nation that the second memorandum opinion and order and notice of proposed rule making of the Commission with respect to application of such ordinances to the placement of such towers, WT Docket No. 97–192, ET Docket No. 93–62, and RM–8577, be modified in order to permit State and local governments to exer- cise their zoning and land use authorities, and their power to protect public health and safety, to regulate the placement of tele- communications towers and to place the bur- den of proof in civil actions relating to the placement of such towers on the person or entity that seeks to place, construct, or modify such towers.

Findings and Purposes. The Legislature finds that the CNMI government may only hire nonresident workers in limited circumstances, pursuant to 3 CMC Section 4434(i). The Legislature further finds that these workers are hired by the government only for vital positions that cannot be filled locally and are of a highly skilled nature, requiring substantial salaries; accordingly, these workers are hired through Excepted Service contracts. Finally, the Legislature finds that there are some provisions of the Nonresident Workers Act that conflict with the Excepted Service Personnel Regulations and contract. Therefore, the Legislature finds it is necessary to add a new subsection to 3 CMC Section 4434 that will exempt nonresident workers employed by the CNMI government who earn more than $20,000 per year from certain specified provisions of the Nonresident Worker Act.
