SB 5675.E - DIGEST

(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 3/16/99)

     Directs the department of transportation to develop criteria to be used for evaluating and prioritizing noise mitigation projects.  The adopted criteria should be consistent with federal standards for noise abatement, and must at a minimum consider the current level of noise in the affected area, the number of persons who would benefit from a reduction in noise, the reduction in decibels resulting from the mitigation project, and the project cost.
