Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 183, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION CONVENING A LEGISLATIVE NOISE POLLUTION TASK FORCE TO REVIEW BEST PRACTICES FROM OTHER STATES IN REDUCING URBAN NOISE POLLUTION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to help address urban noise pollution concerns by convening a Legislative Noise Pollution Task Force (Task Force) to review best practices pursued by other states to reduce urban noise pollution.

 

     Several concerned individuals testified in support of this concurrent resolution.  The Department of Health opposed this measure.  The Legislative Reference Bureau and a concerned individual provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution by:

 

     (1)  Removing the member from the Public Utilities Commission from the Task Force;

 

     (2)  Providing that the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall jointly designate the Chairperson of the Task Force from the members thereof;

 

     (3)  Specifying that the Chairperson of the Task Force provide the findings and recommendations of the Task Force to the Legislative Reference Bureau for final drafting by November 1, 2010; and

 

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 183, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 183, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
