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 by the municipality as redevelopment areas. 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 current law by inserting new language that explicitly states the conditions under which bars can operate without being subject to noise control regulations. It also includes a deletion of previous provisions that are no longer applicable. The intent of the bill is to support local businesses in designated redevelopment areas while balancing community noise concerns. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
