Amplified Sound Mitigation Act of 2024

This bill requires anyone using amplified sound devices like speakers or megaphones in public spaces to obtain a license from the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection. It establishes specific decibel limits for noise levels in different zones and restricts operation to hours between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. The legislation also mandates that enforcement officers be equipped with sound-measuring tools and adds a noise complaint option to the 311 system. Additionally, the act prohibits requiring a Social Security number for license applications and sets clear rules for when licenses can be denied or revoked.
