2024-03-19Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5955: Large Port Districts—Aircraft Noise Mitigation
Washington State's Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5955, signed into law on March 19, 2024, addresses aircraft noise mitigation for large port districts like the Port of Seattle, which operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The law allows the port to repair or replace noise mitigation equipment that is no longer functioning properly or has caused structural damage to nearby properties, using non-federal local funding. It also acknowledges that communities of color — including Black, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander residents in King County — are disproportionately impacted by airport noise, and establishes a state partnership to improve equity and responsiveness in noise mitigation efforts. -
