This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding specific provisions that prohibit municipalities and counties from enacting or enforcing noise ordinances that restrict general construction activities during designated summertime hours. Specifically, it would establish that construction is allowed between May 1 and October 15 from 5:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. on business days and from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. on Saturdays, provided that the work is conducted under a valid building permit. Additionally, it mandates that municipalities and counties must allow concrete to be poured at least one hour before the scheduled start of general construction activities.

Furthermore, the bill includes an emergency clause, indicating that it is necessary for the preservation of public peace, health, or safety, and would take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature. The amendments aim to clarify the authority of local governments regarding construction noise regulations while ensuring that construction activities can proceed without undue restrictions during the specified hours.
