Bill Summary
This bill would exempt bars operating from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. in a redevelopment area designated by a municipality from the provisions of the "Noise Control Act of 1971," P.L.1971, c.418 (C.13:1G-1 et seq.). As used in the bill, "redevelopment area" means an area determined to be in need of redevelopment pursuant to sections 5 and 6 of P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-5 and 40A:12A-6) or determined to be a "blighted area" pursuant to P.L.1949, c.187 (C.40:55-21.1 et seq.) prior to that law's repeal in 1992, as made pursuant to the authority of Article VIII, Section III, paragraph 1 of the Constitution. The Department of Environmental Protection has adopted rules and regulations, pursuant to the "Noise Control Act of 1971," which establish sound level standards of 50 decibels during nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) and 65 decibels during daytime for commercial and industrial stationary sources.
AI Summary
This bill would exempt bars operating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. within a municipality's designated redevelopment area from the noise restrictions outlined in the "Noise Control Act of 1971." A redevelopment area is defined as a location identified as needing redevelopment or previously considered a blighted area under specific state laws, often established to revitalize struggling parts of a municipality. The "Noise Control Act of 1971" currently sets sound limits, with the Department of Environmental Protection having rules that allow for 65 decibels during the day and 50 decibels at night for commercial and industrial noise sources.
