Washington State's Substitute House Bill 1847, signed into law in March 2020, expands the aircraft noise abatement programs available to port districts by lowering the qualifying threshold from 900 to 20 scheduled jet flights per day and extending the geographic boundaries of 'impacted areas' around airport runways. The law allows port districts to pursue noise relief measures—including property acquisition, soundproofing, transaction assistance, and mortgage insurance—for communities affected by aircraft noise. It amends three existing state statutes (RCW 53.54.010, 53.54.020, and 53.54.030) and took effect on June 11, 2020.

The motion calls for implementing the necessary staffing, funding, and contracting resources to deliver the program on time, while coordinating with other public agencies to complement — rather than duplicate — existing programs for low-income housing and energy upgrades. Port staff are required to regularly brief the Commission's Aviation Committee on progress and provide a preliminary implementation plan alongside the 2021 budget approval.
