A 2270 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts bars in municipally designated redevelopment areas from provisions of "Noise Control Act of 1971" under certain conditions.

This bill exempts bars operating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. in municipalities' designated redevelopment areas from the Noise Control Act of 1971's daytime noise limits (65 decibels). It directly affects bars located within areas officially classified as "redevelopment zones" by local governments under state law. The exemption applies only during those specific morning-to-afternoon hours, not for all operating times. This change modifies the Noise Control Act's requirements for these businesses without altering the underlying noise standards for other locations or times.
