This bill authorizes the Jefferson County Commission to adopt an ordinance that prohibits noise disturbances in unincorporated residential areas of the county. It defines "noise disturbance" and outlines specific conditions under which noise would be considered a disturbance, such as sound levels exceeding certain decibel thresholds at specified times, or continuous barking from a dog. The bill also specifies that certain sounds, including those from emergency services, school activities, and lawful public gatherings, are exempt from this definition.

Additionally, the bill establishes a system for civil fines for violations of the ordinance, with penalties escalating for repeated offenses: up to $200 for the first violation, $600 for the second, and $1,800 for the third. The fines are considered debts owed to the Jefferson County Commission and can be enforced through civil action. The bill also allows for the Commission to take legal action to address ongoing violations. The effective date of the act is set for October 1, 2026.
