Sponsored by Amanda Farías
Introduced: February 8, 2024

This bill would prohibit non-essential helicopter flights that do not meet certain federal noise standards from taking off or landing at city-run heliports. The bill would also require that prior to the ban taking effect, the Council and the Mayor receive reports on the percentage of helicopter flights landing and leaving city-run heliports that do not meet such noise standards.
