This bill mandates the Commissioner of Transportation to establish rules and regulations aimed at reducing helicopter noise at state-licensed airports, heliports, and helistops. Specifically, it requires that the number of helicopter departures from these facilities be reduced by at least 47 percent on weekdays, based on the average number of flights during the 12 months prior to the bill's enactment. Notably, the bill exempts helicopters operated by federal or military authorities, as well as those providing emergency medical transportation, from this reduction requirement.

The bill introduces definitions for key terms such as "Airport," "Heliport," and "Helistop," clarifying the scope of the legislation. It emphasizes the need for regulatory measures to address noise pollution associated with helicopter operations, reflecting a growing concern for community noise levels and environmental impact. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
