OHARE SOUND MITIGATION

Summary

The bill sets up the O’Hare Sound Mitigation Grant Program, allowing the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Aeronautics to award funds to homeowners around O’Hare International Airport for window, door and other sound‑proofing upgrades. It also amends the Permanent Noise Monitoring Act, mandating airport sponsors to prepare and publish detailed noise‑contour studies every five years. Together, the measures aim to lessen aircraft noise exposure for nearby residents and improve public access to noise information.
