Residential Tranquility Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill temporarily strengthens noise and safety rules in Washington, D.C. residential areas by banning the use of sound amplifying devices like loudspeakers during demonstrations between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. It also makes it illegal to throw projectiles at homes with the intent to frighten, intimidate, or retaliate against residents or workers. Violators of these new provisions could face fines of up to the maximum set by existing law or up to 90 days in jail, or both. The legislation also clarifies that car audio systems are not considered sound amplifying devices unless they are used to target a residence. Additionally, the bill sets a specific expiration date of December 7th for Council appointments to the Corrections Information Council.
