“As early as today, the House will be voting to pass the Don't Break Up the T-Band Act, of which I am proud to be an original cosponsor. This would mark a great victory for our first responders who use the T-Band spectrum and bravely and selflessly put their lives on the line each and every day to protect our communities. From hurricanes to fires, the T-Band spectrum provides critical communication between first responders. Even when cell phones, internet, and electricity cease to function, T-Band is the last line of defense. However, the T-Band spectrum is mandated to be sold. According to the GAO, this misguided sale and the relocation of users would actually cost taxpayers $5 billion to $6 billion. Thankfully, this bipartisan legislation would preserve the spectrum, and help ensure our first responders have the resources to do their jobs safely and effectively. I urge the Senate to follow suit and move forward on this vital bill. ____________________”
