 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 9, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. LIU, MYRIE, SANDERS -- read twice and ordered print-
 ed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Health

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to airport noise
 studies

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Article 13 of the public health law is amended by adding a
 2 new title 14 to read as follows:
 3 TITLE XIV
 4 AIRPORT NOISE STUDIES
 5 Section 1389-hh. Legislative findings and purposes.
 6 1389-ii. Definitions.
 7 1389-jj. Airport noise studies.
 8 § 1389-hh. Legislative findings and purposes. 1. The legislature here-
 9 by finds, determines, and declares that noise pollution causes a variety
 10 of adverse human health impacts, many of which are related to noise
 11 induced stress including hearing loss, hypertension, tachycardia,
 12 increased cortisol release, sleep disruption, and cognitive impairment.
 13 2. The legislature further finds and recognizes that the federal envi-
 14 ronmental protection agency and the World Health Organization have
 15 recommended a fifty-five day-night average sound level (DNL) noise expo-
 16 sure level to protect the public from adverse human health impacts.
 17 3. The legislature further finds and recognizes that the federal
 18 aviation administration accepts as a metric for determining noise
 19 impacts the community noise equivalent level (CNEL).
 20 4. The legislature further finds that the community noise equivalent
 21 level (CNEL) includes a penalty for increased sensitivity to noise
 22 occurring during evening hours which are set aside for family and
 23 student study time.
 24 5. For these purposes, there shall be established a uniform metric for
 25 measuring noise impacts that will be used by airports in New York state
