Relative to airplane noise data collection. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 90 Section 60 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require the Massachusetts Aeronautics Division to collect and publish on its website monthly data on noise complaints and "touch and go" flight operations at municipal and regional airports in the state between April 1 and October 1. The bill also requires airports to hold public meetings to address noise concerns, and directs the Aeronautics Division to provide guidance to airports on developing "good neighbor" or "fly neighborly" policies to address the noise impact of touch and go operations on nearby residents. The bill is intended to increase transparency and public accountability around airport noise issues in Massachusetts.
