Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
The Legislature, recognizing the growing problem of noise pollution throughout the state and that we are daily assaulted with increased noise from advancing technology, machines, vehicles, and human clamor, declares that excessive noise must be considered a degradation of our environment and a health hazard to our citizens.
The Legislature further declares that it is particularly concerned that the proposed supersonic transport aircraft may significantly increase the noise level in the areas surrounding our state’s airports unless preventive legal sanctions are invoked.
The Legislature is compelled to enact a noise limit for aircraft landing in the state, as a necessary and proper function of its police powers, in order to protect the health and welfare of the citizens of this state.
