This bill proposes an exemption for bars operating in municipally designated redevelopment areas from the provisions of the "Noise Control Act of 1971." Specifically, it allows bars to operate between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. without violating noise regulations, provided they are located in areas designated as redevelopment zones by the municipality. The bill defines "redevelopment area" in accordance with existing law, ensuring clarity on the types of areas that qualify for this exemption.

Additionally, the bill amends existing law to include this new provision while also clarifying the definitions of relevant terms such as "redevelopment area." The intent of the legislation is to support local businesses in designated redevelopment areas by reducing regulatory burdens related to noise control, thereby fostering economic activity and revitalization in these communities. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
