Bill Summary

Relative to noise pollution. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 8 of Chapter 21A of the General Laws, which deals with environmental protection, by adding specific types of noise to the scope of regulations. The key change is the insertion of language that mandates regulations to include, but not be limited to, low-frequency noise, infrasound, and aerodynamic amplitude modulation, which are all forms of sound that can be difficult to detect or measure using standard methods and can have significant impacts on human health and well-being.
